Hope you'll give this recipe a try...happy baking! :)
- 250g butter
- 360g or 420g all purpose flour
- 48g vegetable shortening
- 300g granulated sugar
- 80g cocoa
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions:
- Cream butter, shortening and sugar together.
- Add eggs and vanilla, mix well.
- Add baking powder and salt and mix again.
- Stir in the cocoa until well blended.
- Add flour a little at a time (*Note: IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE COOKIES RIGHT AWAY, ADD 420g of flour. If you are going to "chill" the dough, or just wait for another day to make your cookies, STOP AT 360g. It will be totally soft and look all wrong, but it will be fine after chilling).
- Roll out on lightly floured surface. Bake at 180 C for 7-8 minutes. Note: each oven is different, I would recommend you get to know your oven and adjust accordingly.
