Chocolate Sugar Cookies

Perfect for all occasions, especially when you want something a little extra (that cinnamon is *chefs kiss*)

Ingredients

• 3 cups Plain (All Purpose) Flour

• 1 cup Powdered Sugar (Icing Sugar, Confectioners Sugar)

• 250 g (9oz) Butter (Lurpak if possible) Chilled, and cubed

• 4 tbsp Cocoa Powder

• 1 Egg

• 1 tbsp Milk

• 1 tsp Vanilla Essence/Flavouring

• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 160℃ (320℉) for Conventional Ovens. Fan forced and convection oven heats may vary.;In a food processor, mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, cocoa powder and butter, until you have a fine crumb. Add wet ingredients, and mix until a dough forms

2. Remove mixture from mixer (it will be really really crumbly), and knead until it comes together and is smooth

3. Roll out to desired thickness, and refrigerate until firm. This is the secret of perfect cookies. Always chill your dough before cutting it out, and bake while still cold

Notes

Can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week. Great with Royal Icing or Modelling Chocolate!

For Christmas Bauble cookies, cut a small hole with a number 12 piping tip before baking, and string with ribbon after icing.
