Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.75 cups dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat again until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Step 6
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the dough.
Step 7
With lightly floured hands, scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough per treat, roll it into a ball, and slightly flatten it to resemble a mini pillow shape.
Step 8
Arrange the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each piece.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers appear slightly soft. Avoid overbaking.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Once fully cooled, lightly dust the tops of the chocolate pillow fluffs with powdered sugar for a delicate touch.
Step 12
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
