Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar (packed)
• 1 units Large egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Coarse sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough at a time and roll it into balls. Then, roll each dough ball in the coarse sugar to coat it evenly.

Step 7

Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your Ultimate Chocolate Sugar Cookies with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!
