Ingredients
CHOCOLATE SUGAR COOKIES
- 4 1/2 cups (576g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (59g) dark chocolate cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon McCormick Cream of Tartar
- 1 cup (2 sticks or 226g) salted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (224g or 8 ounces) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (125g) confectioners sugar
- 2 large (3.50 ounces - 4.0 ounces) eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
FILLING
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup (62.5g) confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons imitation raspberry extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F and line a few baking sheets with parchment paper. (I bake them at 350°F in a convection oven)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, dark chocolate cocoa powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, oil, and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, scraping the sides as necessary.
- Reduce speed to medium and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing just until combined.
- Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
- Reduce speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add in the confectioners' sugar and raspberry extract, beating until well combined.
- Scoop out 1/4 cup of dough for each cookie, dividing each in half.
- Flatten the bottom half onto a baking sheet, putting a teaspoon of the raspberry cream filling in the center.
- Place the top half of the dough over the filling, sealing the edges. Be sure to shape each cookie like a hockey puck so the edges do not burn.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes. The cookies should not appear wet on top.
- Let cool on the baking sheet before serving.
