Chocolate sugar cookies
Ingredients
- 2 & 1/2 c. all-purpose unbleached flour
- 1/2 c. dutch-process cocoa natural is OK, too
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- 1/2 tsp. coarse salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- one cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour,cocoa, espresso powder and salt; set aside.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light an fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
- In 3 additions, add the flour mixture at low speed. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl as needed.
- Roll the dough on a lightly floured and cocoa-ed surface. (I mixed the 2 of these, then spread on my rolling surface, on my rolling pin, and used it to dip my cookie cutters.)
- Cut the cookies with a square cutter, then divide into smaller squares, if necessary, using a bench scraper.
- Freeze cut cookies five minutes.
- Bake 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
- With white royal icing and a #4 (or so) plain tip, pipe the x’s and o’s.
- With red icing and a #3 or #4 tip, pipe hearts on some of the cookies.
- Let the icing dry (overnight is fine).
- Mix equal parts meringue powder and water. Brush onto piped designs with a small paintbrush and sprinkle on sanding sugar. Shake off the excess.
