Servings: 45 cookies
Cost: $4.13
Equipment
- Sheet pan lined
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream full-fat, room temperature
- 1/16 teaspoon almond extract optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-3/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder see note 1
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, the mixture should resemble peanut butter. Beat in egg, sour cream, almond extract, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add in chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined being careful not to overmix. Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a large tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to measure equal cookie dough balls. Roll in powdered sugar and place on the prepared sheet pan with no more than 9 cookies per pan. Chill for another 10 minutes.
- Bake for 7–10 minutes or until the top is no longer glossy. Be careful not to overbake. A soft, very slightly underbaked cookie is the best for a delicious fudgy texture. Once the cookies come out of the oven, let them stand on the cookie sheet for 5–7 minutes. Then dip in a bowl of powdered sugar again. Transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes
Note 1: Make sure to use Dutch-process cocoa powder in these cookies. Regular cocoa powder will make these cookies dry and less flavorful.
