Chocolate Cookies again!

Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi All,
I am getting addicted to baking. All these years I never thought that I will start baking! I always got scared with the word Baking. But last year I took a resolution(which I am always against) that I will start baking and first time I kept my promise.
Here is one more trial from my kitchen
Chocolate Cookies was my first bake after I bought my OTG. I followed the Recipe from Deepa and it was a hit. I prepared it 2-3 times and the box was empty within a day.
Then I thought of taking little risk(I am grown up :-)   ) and tried this recipe:



All Purpose Flour - 1 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Brown sugar - 1/4 cup
Unsalted butter -  1/4 cup
Coco powder - 1/6 cup
Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Milk -  2 tbsp
Sugar to cover the cookies






  • Grease the baking tray. 
  • Preheat the oven.
  • Sieve the APF, Coco powder, baking power and salt in a big vessel.
  • Cream the butter and sugars till creamy and fluffy. 
  • Add the sieved flour to this and mix well.
  • Add milk and knead like a soft dough.
  • Divide the dough in to lemon size balls. Press the balls to make round cookies shape.
  • Roll the cookies slowly on a sugar to get the light sugar coating.
  • Spread the cookies on baking tray.
  • Keep it in the middle rack.
  • Bake it on 180 degree C(350 degrees F) for 10 minutes.
  • Check the cookies. If you feel they are still not done, bake for few more minutes.
  • Cookies will be soft for some time before they get crisp.
