How to Make Rich Chocolate Cutout Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Beat in 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Remove one disk from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to soften slightly.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with cocoa powder. Place one sheet of parchment paper on the surface, then roll out the dough between the parchment paper to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Carefully transfer the dough (still between parchment sheets) to a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Gently remove excess dough and place cookies evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
- Freeze the cut cookies for another 10-15 minutes to prevent spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the edges are set and the cookies are firm to the touch.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
