Chocolate Zebra Hug Cookies Recipes

CHOCOLATE HUG COOKIES RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Gently stir with a whisk to evenly distribute. Set aside. Fit a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and cream the butter, both sugars, and vanilla until light and creamy. Add the eggs and mix until completely incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the ingredients are just combined. Use a tablespoon to place the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. Do not flatten the cookie dough balls. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Do not over-bake. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Then, gently press a Kiss into the middle of each cookie. Cool for 15 to 20 more minutes then serve warm. Or, let the cookies cool completely before serving or storing.

• Add in the egg and egg yolk; beat for about 5-6 minutes (no sugar granules should remain in the batter!).
• Add in the flour mixture and mix JUST until completely combined with the electric mixer (batter will be thick).
• Cover and chill the batter for about 5 hours (or overnight).
• Set oven to 350°F.
• Lightly grease a large baking pan.
• Drop about 2 heaping tablespoons cookie dough onto a baking sheet (if using a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet you should get 8 cookies on the sheet, two across and four rows).
• Bake for about 8 minutes or until the cookies are just set and begin to crack on top.
• Cool the cookies in the baking pan then transfer to a rack (the cookies will firm up while sitting).

• Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Bake remaining balls of dough.
• In small saucepan, melt chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly. Drizzle melted chocolate in crisscross pattern over cooled cookies. Let stand until glaze is set before storing.
