Listed below are the ingredients and instructions on how to make delicious sugar chocolate cookies.

Ingredients:

Ingredients needed to make the Royal Icing:

* 2 tsp of lemon juice (fresh)

* 3 cups or 345 grams of confectioner’s sugar (icing or powdered), sifted

* 2 large or 60 grams of egg whites

Ingredients needed to make a Sugar Chocolate Cookie

* 2 eggs (large)

* 1/2 tsp of salt

* 2 and 3/4 cups or 355 grams of flour (all purpose)

* 1 and 3/4 cups of white sugar (granulated)

* 1 cup or 227 grams of butter (unsalted), room temperature

* 2 tsp of vanilla extract

* 3/4 cup or 75 grams of processed cocoa powder (unsweetened Dutch)

* 1 tsp or 4 grams of baking powder

Instructions:

For Sugar Chocolate Cookies:

Whisk together the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and the flour in a large bowl using your electric mixer’s bowl or you can just use a hand mixer. You must beat the sugar and the butter for at least 2-4 minutes until it becomes fluffy and light. Afterwards, you must add the eggs one at a time. After doing so, add the vanilla extract and beat it until it’s well combined. Then, you must add the flour mixture and beat it until it becomes a smooth dough. You must divide the dough in half and then wrap each of the half in plastic wrapper. Refrigerate it until it becomes firm enough for you to roll or at least 1 hour. Preheat your oven to 355 degrees Fahrenheit or 177 degrees Celsius and place the rack inside the oven. You must line two baking sheets together with a parchment paper.

Remove half of the dough in the refrigerator. Then, you must roll the dough on a floured surface. Roll out the dough until it is at least 1/4 inch or 1 centimeter thick. You can cut out different shapes you like using a cookie cutter and then transfer the cookies into the prepared baking sheets. Place the unbaked cookies inside the refrigerator once again for 11-15 minutes to chill it. This will prevent the cookies from losing and spreading their shapes while you were baking them. You must bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes depending on their size or just until you see the edges are already firm. Remove it inside the oven and just let it cool first in the baking sheets before you transfer them to a wire rack for it to be finished cooling. You can make at least 36 pieces of delicious cookies with a size of 4 inches using this recipe.

For Royal Icing:

Using a hand mixer or your electric mixer, beat the lemon juice and the egg whites. You must add the sugar at a medium speed until you see them smooth and combined. If desired, mix in food coloring. The icing must be transferred to an airtight container or be used immediately as it hardens easily when it is exposed to air. Just cover it with a plastic wrap when you’re not using it.
