GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE DROP COOKIES



Grandma's Chocolate Drop Cookies image

Calling all chocolate lovers and novice bakers: This one's for you. These chocolate drop cookies are straight from grandma's recipe box, but they definitely don't require her wealth of baking expertise to make yourself. Drop cookies, made from soft dough and dropped onto a baking sheet in balls, are a simple, old-fashioned treat that are prime for personalization. If you like nuts, add them in. Prefer mint chocolate chips to semi-sweet chips? Feel free to substitute. No matter what you add, you're sure to end up with a soft, cake-like cookie that packs on the chocolate flavor. Plus, once you pile on the chocolate icing, it's nearly impossible to have just one.To drop the cookies on your baking sheet, try using a tablespoon cookie scoop. Not only will it help keep your fingers clean, but it will also make sure your cookies come out even.

Yield About 3 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Sanding sugar, for rolling

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar and butter on medium speed until mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat to combine. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture; beat to combine. Form dough into a flattened disk, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Roll each ball in sanding sugar. Place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating halfway through. Transfer to a rack to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies from baking sheet to wire rack. The cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
