How to Make Soft Cocoa Cookies
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle with your favorite chocolate icing (recipe not included).
