Dirty Chocolate Cookies

Total0Pin0

Chocolate cookies with a rich chocolate frosting work together to create a decadent Dirty Chocolate Cookie!

Beyond rich chocolate cookies with a rich chocolate frosting!

So why “dirty” cookies? A couple reasons.

1- When you eat these cookies frosting and crumbs end up everywhere. On your face and hands especially! It’s hard to resist a big first bite and without fail, I end up with chocolate frosting on my mouth.

2- They are messy to clean up after! I usually have granulated sugar everywhere and cocoa powder covering my counter tops and frosting splatter on my walls.

Have I convinced you not to make them yet? I share all that with you because in spite of the “dirty” aspect of these cookies… it’s all worth it. They are GOOD.

So good.

Ingredients

Chocolate Cookie

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 226g) butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Frosting

  • 2 cups powdered sugar (confectioners sugar)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for when you press the cookies flat

Instructions

Cookie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar and then add the egg and vanilla. Mix well.
  3. Add the flour, sifted cocoa, baking soda and baking powder together. Sift as needed.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and stir. (Can also use a hand held mixer) It will be a dry mixture.
  5. Scoop out the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cookies will spread, so be sure to place them at least 2 inches apart. (I used a measuring scoop that holds about 2 1/2 tablespoons of batter.)
  6. Place some sugar in a small bowl or plate and dip the bottom of a glass into the sugar and press the cookie down. (I sprayed the glass with non-stick spray the first time, you only need to spray it once.)
  7. Bake 8-10 minutes or until tops are just dry. Let cool on pan for a few minutes so that you can move them to a cooling rack without breaking them.

Frosting

  1. In mixing bowl, place all of the ingredients and blend together using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer.

  6. Neither one of my batters had the consistency that they were suppose to have. I am not sure as to why that is, the cookie batter is delicious, but it was still very wet not dry.

  9. Made these last night and they are quickly disappearing. Super easy and super delicious. I ended up with 2 dozen cookies and they were pretty big size — just perfect for my family. They remind me of brownies and the frosting is the best part. SO good. I’ll be making these over and over again — at Christmas they’d be good with a little bit of peppermint candy sprinkled on top!
