Star-Shaped Brownie Cookies

Start Shaped Brownie Cookies

Serving Size: 2 dozen cookies

Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes

Source: Recipe adapted from SmittenKitchen cookbook.

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 1/2 cups sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

• Chocolate chips (optional)

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk dry flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.

Step 2: Mix butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cocoa in mixer. Gradually add flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least one hour.

Step 3: Roll out cookie dough on a floured counter. Cut into desired shapes, brushing extra deposits of flour off the top. Bake for 8 to 11 minutes until the edges are firm and the centers are slightly soft and puffed. If you add chocolate chips, these cookies are harder to roll out so you can either roll out or make traditional cookies.
