The sweetest, decadent little treat to share or to enjoy on your own… it can be made using a whisk or stand mixer… makes about 50 cookies ❤️
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups castor sugar
- 3 1/2 – 4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 egg+1egg yolk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Gel food colouring
- 1tbsp vanilla extract
- 200g salted butter
- 2-3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- Icing sugar to decorate (optional)
Procedure:
- Cream together the soft butter and castor sugar until slightly fluffy
- Add in the egg+egg yolk and whisk
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, apple cider vinegar, red food colouring and vanilla extract
- Add mixture in (3) to batter in (2) and whisk until well combined.
- add in whisked flour and baking soda and mix with a spatula or whisk until a dough is obtained.
- Refrigerate dough for a minimum of 20 mins
- Roll our small balls around 1 inch in diameter, flatten slightly in a bowl of icing sugar. Make sure the icing sugar is coating all sides of the cookie.
- Repeat with all of the dough. Place on a lined baking tray with enough space in between each ball ( they do puff up when baking).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 for about 12 minutes (until cookies look done, do not over bake, they will turn dry).
- Cookies are ready to serve!
