Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter , softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer, until combined. Add in the egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture; beat until combined. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- Form tablespoon sized balls of dough and place on baking sheets 2 inches apart; flatten just slightly with the back of a spatula.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When cookies have completely cooled, prepare frosting. Combine powdered sugar and milk in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk until smooth. (Add more powdered sugar if mixture is too thin or more milk if mixture is too thick.) Spoon into a small zip-top plastic bag; seal. Snip a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag.
- Working with 1 cookie at a time, pipe 3 concentric circles of the icing onto each cookie. Starting at center circle, pull a wooden toothpick through other circles at regular intervals to create a “web.”
- Allow frosting to set and enjoy!
