Servings: 48 cookies
Calories: 76kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter softened
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ounce red food coloring more if you want a deeper red color
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325°F.
- Combine all ingredients except mini chocolate chips and powdered sugar in bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until well mixed. With a spatula by hand, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets (I prefer using parchment paper) Bake 18-25 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes; roll in powdered sugar while still warm and again when cool.
Notes
- You want to make sure to measure your flour accurately. Learning how to measure your flour is a baking basic I think everyone needs to learn! In fact it's one of the first lesson in my Ultimate Baking Bootcamp online class.
- You also want to make sure that your butter is properly softened. You can find 3 ways to soften your butter here. My favorite way uses the microwave but not in the way you think!
- Make sure you are using natural unsweetened cocoa powder. Natural vs. dutch process cocoa powder are not the same and should not be used interchangeably!
- When baking multiple batches of cookies make sure your cookie sheets are cooled before placing more cookie dough on to bake them. This one of the reasons cookies spread too much in the oven.
