INGREDINETS :
- Wheat flour – 1 and 1/4 cup
- Cocoa powder – 1/4 cup
- Butter, melted – 2 Tbsp
- Baking powder – 1/4 tsp
- Baking soda – 1/4 tsp
- White or Brown Sugar – 1/2 cup (In this recipe, I used brown sugar)
- Water – 1 cup
- Olive Oil – 3 Tbsp
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.
- Enjoy homemade Cocoa powder Wheat flour Cookies/Tea time Cookies with hot Tea or Coffee.
