Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer or a whisk. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the dry cocoa powder until the dough is just combined. Do not overmix.
- Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to form 1-inch balls from the dough.
- Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly crinkled on the surface.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Midnight Moon Cookies with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!
Tips:
- Make sure to sift the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder to avoid any lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
- Soften the butter at room temperature rather than melting it to maintain the right cookie texture.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies keep their shape.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack for the best texture and flavor.
With their deliciously rich flavor and satisfying texture, Midnight Moon Cookies are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy them with a glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or even on their own as a delectable midnight snack. Happy baking!
