Description
Delicious chocolate cookies topped with a rich cocoa glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter (two sticks, melted)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- You won’t need to preheat right away, since this dough will need to chill first.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and cocoa powder.
- Add brown sugar and granulated sugar; beat on medium speed until combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla; beat until incorporated. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the wet mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until set.
- While the cookies bake: Melt ½ cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add milk and cocoa powder; whisk until smooth.
- Whisk in powdered sugar until incorporated. If lumpy, continue whisking over heat for up to 1 minute. The glaze will thicken but remain spoonable.
- Spoon frosting over hot cookies. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- The dough must chill before baking for best results.
- Adjust baking time for your desired cookie texture.
