4 Ingredient Chocolate Melting Moments
These chocolate cookies melt in your mouth as you eat them. They are easy to make, need only 4 ingredients and can be made ahead of time for any easy dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, brought to room temperature
- 1/2 cup (61 g) powdered sugar, plus additional for dusting
- 1 cup (114 g) cake flour
- 1 1/2 tbsp (10 g) unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Using the flat paddle attachment on the mixer, cream at highest speed until light and fluffy (this should only take about 30 seconds to 1 minute). Make sure to stop and scrape the sides of your bowl a few times in between mixing to make sure all the sugar and butter gets mixed.
- Add in cake flour and cocoa powder. Mix on low speed until the flour and cocoa powder are fully and evenly incorporated and a dough forms. The dough should also be uniform in color.
- Use a 2 tsp cookie scoop to scoop out dough. If you don't own a 2 tsp cookie scoop you can just measure out 2 tsp of dough with your measuring spoon. Roll each dough ball in between your palms until it becomes a smooth round ball. Place onto prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies at least one inch apart.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). While your oven is preheating, place the cookie dough balls into the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Bake cookies for about 10 minutes or until the cookies are done. The cookies may start to turn a darker brown around the edges. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet. Once cooled, remove cookies and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Most powdered sugar sold in the US contains cornstarch and that is what I used to make these cookies. Make sure your powdered sugar is the type that contains cornstarch in the ingredient list.
- When measuring flour or sugar, use the spoon and level method. This means you should spoon the flour/sugar into the measuring cup and then level off the surface with a knife. Don't directly dip the measuring cup into the flour/sugar.
- Homemade cake flour: Measure 1 cup of all purpose flour. Remove 2 tablespoons of the flour (you can add this back to your flour container). Add the remaining into a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the bowl. Thoroughly whisk the flour and cornstarch together.
- I don't recommend omitting the powdered sugar on top. The cookies are not that sweet so the additional powdered sugar helps add some sweetness and also helps create the melting sensation.
