Ingredients

Cookies

  • 2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, scoop & leveled
  • 125 g unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar, how to pack
  • 1/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp instant coffee powder
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 Tbsp whole milk

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 180ºC (356ºF) fan-forced. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add flour.
  • Add cold cubed butter and using your hands, rub the butter into the flour until it reaches the consistency of coarse crumbs, this takes about 2 minutes.
  • Add brown sugar and cocoa powder, mix until well combined.
  • Make a well in the middle and add beaten and milk. Mix until a cookie dough forms, using your hands for this step makes it easier.
  • Scoop up 1 tablespoon worth of dough and roll into a smooth ball. Flatten ball in the palm of your hand to form a round disc, place cookie disc onto lined sheet. Alternatively, place ball on lined tray and press down with the palm of your hand to flatten out into a round disc.
  • Repeat with remaining dough, leaving about 5cm space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes and until cookies come away easily from the parchment paper.
  • Remove and cool on sheet for 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chocolate Drizzle

  • Drizzle each cookie with the melted dark chocolate. Set aside and allow them to set.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store: Allow cookies to cool completely and store in an airtight container, at room temperature for 1 week.
 
  • Freeze: Without the chocolate drizzle, place baked and cooled cookies in a freezer-friendly zip-lock bag or container, layered with parchment paper between each layer of cookies to prevent sticking. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.
 
  • Thaw: At room temperature for 1-2 hours until soft enough to eat. Add chocolate drizzle on top if desired.
