Delight your taste buds with these decadent Piped Chocolate Butter Cookies. They are rich, buttery, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
For the cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons milk (as needed for piping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg yolk and vanilla: Mix in the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder and flour, then beat until a soft dough forms.
- Adjust consistency: If the dough is too thick to pipe, add milk gradually until it becomes pipeable.
- Pipe cookies: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip and pipe desired shapes onto the baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If using a metal piping tip, ensure the dough is soft enough to pipe without breaking.
- For a fancy touch, dip cooled cookies in melted chocolate and top with nuts or sea salt.
