These cookies have a soft, cake like texture and although the name says sugar cookies, it's not very sweet at all. I am not a big fan of sweet cookies so these were perfect for my house. Most sugar cookies are usually decorated but I skipped this step as I don't like sweet cookies.This recipe was adapted from http://www.joyofbaking.com/ChocolateSugarCookie.html I changed the quantities of some of the ingredients and changed the baking time as my first batch came out too hard (over baked.)

Steps

20 mins

1

In a bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa powder. Once done set it aside.
2

In a separate bowl, using a mixer, cream the butter till light and fluffy and then add the sugar and keep beating till the mixture is light and fluffy.
3

Add the vanilla and mix.
4

Add one egg at a time and mix.
5

Add the flour mixture little at a time and beat until a smooth dough is formed. The dough may look dry but it will come together as you keep mixing.
6

Once done, separate the dough into 2 equal portions, wrap in foil/plastic wrap and put in the fridge for about an hour or till it's firm enough to be rolled out. Not too soft.
7

Take one portion of the dough from the fridge after an hour has passed, roll it out and cut into shapes as desired with a cookie cutter.
8

Preheat oven to 300F and bake for 8-9 mins.

Tip: When the cookies are done and cooled the texture should be soft and chewy. It would taste like a cake cookie. If the cookie has a hard texture that means it has been over baked. The portions in this recipe made about 80 single cookies.
