Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugar.

Beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually add in the melted butter, stirring until well combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a smooth batter forms.

Step 2

Shape the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the batter and shape them into leaf forms or any desired shape. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake the Cookies

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and slightly golden.

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

Your autumn leaf cookies are now ready to be enjoyed! These make a perfect treat for a fall gathering or a cozy evening at home.

Feel free to serve them with a cup of tea or coffee!

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: Craving these cookies but need to skip the gluten? Substitute the regular flour with your favorite gluten-free blend. This ensures everyone can enjoy the deliciousness! 🌾✨

Vegan Option: For a plant-based twist, swap the butter for coconut oil or a vegan butter substitute and use flaxseed meal to replace the eggs. These changes will keep the cookies soft and delightful while catering to your vegan friends! 🌱💚

Faq

  • What can I use instead of eggs?

    You can replace eggs with ¼ cup of applesauce, mashed banana, or flaxseed meal mixed with water (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water).

  • How do I know when the cookies are done?

    Look for a slight golden color around the edges. They should be set but still soft in the center when you take them out!

  • Can I freeze cookie dough?

    Absolutely! You can freeze the dough shaped into cookies. Just thaw before baking and enjoy freshly baked cookies anytime!

  • Why are my cookies flat?

    This can happen if the butter is too warm or if there isn’t enough flour. Try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking.

  • How can I make my cookies softer?

    Adding a bit more butter or not overbaking them will help achieve that soft texture.

  • Can I add nuts or chocolate chips?

    Definitely! Chopped nuts or chocolate chips can be folded into the dough for added flavor and texture.
