Chocolate Dough Ingredients



Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, take the softened butter and beat it until fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and the egg, mixing well until fully combined.
Once the mixture is creamy, slowly pour in the melted milk and stir to combine.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, corn starch, and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Take a small piece of the chilled dough and mix it with cocoa powder to create the chocolate dough.
You may also add food coloring if you prefer a unique design.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large sheet of even thickness.
Add small pieces of the chocolate dough onto the rolled-out dough and roll it again to incorporate the chocolate pieces.
Using a cookie cutter shaped like a cow, cut out the cookies.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Place the biscuits on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
Servings
Equipment
Opt for a medium-sized bowl that provides enough space to mix your ingredients without any spills. A glass or stainless steel bowl is a great option as they remain sturdy and don’t absorb odors.



A sturdy rolling pin will help you flatten the dough evenly. Look for one that's comfortable to hold to avoid straining your wrists while rolling.



Use a cow-shaped cookie cutter to get those adorable cookie shapes. If you don’t have one, you can create your own template!
A non-stick baking sheet or lined with parchment paper is essential to prevent the cookies from sticking. Make sure it’s evenly heated by avoiding overcrowding.



Variations
Faq
- Q: How do I know when my cookies are done baking?
A: The cookies are done when they’re lightly golden around the edges and feel slightly firm to the touch in the center. They will continue to bake slightly as they cool.
- Q: Can I add chocolate chips to this recipe?
A: Absolutely! Chocolate chips would complement the flavors wonderfully. Just fold them into the dough before shaping your cookies.
- Q: What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
A: If your dough feels too sticky, try adding a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency.
- Q: Can I freeze these cookies?
A: Yes! You can freeze the baked cookies in an airtight container for up to three months. Just thaw them at room temperature before serving.
- Q: Can I use other flavors instead of cocoa powder?
A: Indeed! Feel free to experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or even citrus zest for a fresh twist!
- Q: What's the best way to store cookies to keep them fresh?
A: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer freshness, you can add a slice of bread to the container; the cookies will absorb moisture and stay soft!
