Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup butter (, softened)
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (, softened)
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (, melted)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instruction

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and cream cheese until light and fluffy, using the whisk attachment.
  • Mix in the corn syrup, vanilla, egg, and melted chocolate, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl so that everything gets mixed in.
  • Switch your mixer attachment to a paddle or dough hook. Mix in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until everything is mixed in.
  • Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes, re-rolling the dough as necessary.
  • Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 2 to 3 minutes on the pan before carefully removing to cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
