So I decided to pen down the recipes for you.

Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup Castor Sugar
- ½ cup Butter at room temperature
- 3 tbsp. Cocoa Powder
- 3 tbsp. Warm milk/ Warm Water
- 1tsp. Vanilla Extract
Steps
- Preheat your oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.
- To prepare the dough, Add butter, castor sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl and beat until pale and fluffy.
- To the mixture add flour gradually and mix it until combined
- Now make a slurry by mixing Cocoa powder with warm milk/water.
- Add this mixture to the dough and mix it with the help of a spatula till evenly combined.
- Roll the dough to ¼ inch thickness between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Freeze the dough for 30 minutes and then using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into rectangular pieces.
- Place the shaped cookies on the baking tray lined with parchment paper/ silicon mat and bake them at 180 C for 12-15 minutes.

Healthier Version
I know some of you might not prefer All-purpose Flour and Sugar like my husband. So I have also tried and tested a slightly healthier version of the cookies and they were as delicious as the original ones. So if you want to satisfy your sweet cravings and also be healthier, you just need to replace the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour in the same quantity and replace ¼ cup castor sugar with ¼ cup + 2 tbsp of brown sugar. I used light brown sugar for my recipe.
Tips
- These cookies are not too sweet, So if you prefer sweeter cookies then increase the quantity of Castor sugar.
- Use Oven’s wire rack to mark perfect rectangles to shape the cookies. This hack helped me a lot to give the cookies a perfect shape.
- Use room temperature butter to perfectly mix butter and sugar. If the butter is too cold the sugar will not mix in it and if the butter is liquidy then the dough will be soft.
- If at any point you feel like the dough has become too soft and is becoming difficult to handle, freeze the dough in the refrigerator for some time.
These chocolate cookies are sure to be a hit at any gathering or party and are a great recipe to keep in your baking arsenal for whenever you need a quick and delicious chocolate fix. I made them on Christmas last year and they were gone in a jiffy. So try making a batch today and let me know in the comments section how they turned out.
