Yesterday I made some cookies for my weekly girls night. I thought they came out pretty well, but slightly dry. I still need to work on the cooking time and maybe add a little butter. They started as chocolate drop cookies but then I decided to add some spice. In the end I think I could have added some more of the spices. Overall though, nice chocolate cookies that would go well with coffee, tea or a tall glass of milk!
Chocolate Spice Cookies
3 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix flour, salt, spices, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. Cream the sugar and butter in a mixing bowl. Add eggs, beating well. Add vanilla. Finally add the dry ingredients. Use ice cream scooper to scoop dough onto baking sheet.
If you would like you can roll the dough balls into a mixture of sugar and cinnamon before baking.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
Hint #1: You don't need to sift dry ingredients. After putting them in the bowl just use a whisk to stir and shake the flour mixture. You get the same effect as sifting.
Hint #2: Using an ice cream scooper gives you uniform sized cookies
