Description
Rich, fudgy chocolate cookies with a crackly sugar coating and melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar (plus extra for rolling)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy, then beat in egg and vanilla.
- Stir in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough into small balls and coat each in sugar.
- Place on the baking sheet and slightly flatten the tops.
- Bake 8–10 minutes, just until edges are set and centers are soft.
- Cool on a rack before serving — the texture will stay chewy and rich.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding chocolate chips.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness.
