Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup softened butter (227 grams)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour (312 grams)
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter together with the granulated sugar until it turns creamy and smooth.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, and mix well after each addition.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until it forms a smooth dough.
  6. Divide the dough into two equal parts.
  7. Mix cocoa powder into one half of the dough, ensuring it’s fully integrated.
Baking
  1. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, alternate spoonfuls of the light and dark dough.
  2. Using a fork, swirl through the dough to create a marbled pattern.
  3. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  4. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  5. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. For added flavor, try adding chocolate chips or nuts. Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for a firmer texture.
