How to Make Melt In Your Mouth Chocolate Drop Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup milk and ¼ cup sour cream until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream/milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Drop by rounded teaspoons (approximately 2 inches apart) onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely on wire racks. Cookies will firm up as they cool.
- **For Mint Sandwich Cookies:** Mix 1 cup confectioners' sugar with ½ teaspoon peppermint extract and enough milk (about 2-3 tablespoons) to create a spreadable consistency. Spread on cooled cookies and top with another cookie.
- Be careful not to overbake!
