Last week everything came to a head. I had papers everywhere that needed to be dealt with. It was crazy around here. And with it all, I just need some good comfort foods. It’s a good thing that it has been cooler through the week because I was running the oven continuously making casseroles and, of course, these chocolate cookies.

This dough is really good! I’m not saying you should eat it, because, well, it has egg in it. I’m just letting you know that it tastes good…

What You Need:

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa
  • 1 egg

How to make Chocolate Cookies

Cream together the butter and egg, add in the sugar. Add in salt, vanilla, and cocoa. Then add in flour. No liquids. No baking soda or baking powder.

They will be the size that you place them on the sheet, no rising and very little spreading.

Simple Chocolate Cookies

Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350. They will be really soft, they’ll look basically no different but for the very slight toasted look. They will be lightly golden on the bottom. They will firm up as they cool down.

Enjoy with a glass of milk, a cup of tea or coffee, or a glass of wine, or just sit down with a big ol’ plate of cookies and get your fill of them.
