Here is the cookie recipe I made for Bible Study last week.
This recipe is from the Martha Stewart "Cookies" cookbook. A great cookbook to have on hand. Everything I've made from this cookbook has turned out well.
Grammy's Chocolate Cookies
2 cups plus 2 T flour
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, room temp.
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
sugar for rolling
1. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beat to combine. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture, beat to combine. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into balls. Roll each ball into sugar. Place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies set on cookie sheet a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Enjoy. I rolled my cookies in coarse sugar.
