Chocolate Butter Cookies
Indulge in the ultimate Chocolate Butter Cookies recipe! Rich, buttery, and deeply chocolatey, these crinkly treats are ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 7 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Start by creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, which should take about 2 minutes using an electric mixer. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Gradually add the vegetable oil to the creamed mixture while continuing to beat, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a stiff dough forms. If the mixer struggles, switch to a dough hook or knead by hand.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each, and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until they flatten slightly and show crinkles on top.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
