METHOD :

  • Premeasure and layout all the ingredients in your work place to make Chocolate Cookies.
  • Line a large rectangular baking tray with parchment paper. Keep it aside.
  • Preheat oven to 360 degree F.
  • Using a  standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with an electric hand-held mixer, beat butter at high speed until it is soft and smooth, about 30 seconds. (if you don’t have Standing mixer, place butter in a large bowl and mix well using a hand mixer )
  • Add sugar to the bowl and  beat well, at medium speed, until the mixture is light and fluffy. Scarp down the bowl with a large rubber spatula once or twice in between.
  • Add  Wheat flour, Baking powder, Baking soda, cocoa powder  and beat until the mixture is smooth. Total mixing time is 1 minutes. Do not overbeat. You can also mix well with your clean hand.
  • Make a well in the center  of dry ingredients add milk/water  and mix well . I usually mix it well with hand. While mixing,apply little oil in your hand to prevent sticking dough in your hand.
  • Add 2 or 3 Tbsp of water if necessary . The dough must be little bit thinner than chapathi dough consistency.
  • Take a small amount of cookie dough.
  • Roll out the dough to one  inch thickness and press down firmly from the top of each rolled dough with your palm to flatten it little bit.
  • Flatten it and then shape with a cookie cutter or you can shape the cookies even with a glass. I shaped these cookies by hand.
  • Place each of them 2” apart in the  baking  tray .
  • Bake them  for 20 minutes or or until the tops of Cocoa Powder Cookies /Tea time Cookies look set and are just starting to turn golden brown. ( If you want, you can do egg wash before baking the cookies)
  • Let your soft Cookies to cool on the baking  tray for 5 minutes until they can be transferred easy to racks.
