Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 7 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 5 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl sift flour, baking soda, pepper, salt, and cocoa. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. (You will be adding the flour mixture to it later so it needs to be big enough to accommodate all ingredients.)
- Remove pan from heat and stir in both sugars. The mixture should resemble coarse sand.
- Add in sour cream and vanilla to sugar mixture and stir to combine.
- Add in flour mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Drop heaping tablespoons onto the lined baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. (Using a small ice cream scoop or measuring cup is a good way to ensure consistency.)
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops appear slightly cracked. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool to room temperature.
- Serve with red wine.
