1/2cup(113gr)unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2cup(65gr)confectioners' sugar
1egg yolk
1/2tspvanilla extract
1cup(125gr)cake flour
1/3cup(30gr)Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4tspsalt
1/4tspbaking soda
3ounces(85gr)bittersweet chocolate, very finely chopped
Instructions
Using a mixer or spatula, mix butter and confectioners sugar just until well combined. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda to the butter mixture and mix with a spatula until well incorporated.
Add the chopped chocolate and mix until well combined.
If the dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. If not, you can skip this step.
Press and shape the dough into a cylinder, about 1.5-inch (4 cm) in diameter.
Wrap in parchment paper or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350℉/180℃ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Slice the log into a 1/3-inch (8 mm) thick with a sharp knife. Arrange the slices on the baking pan, spacing 1-inch apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use cake flour for light, crisp, and tender cookies. Use all-purpose flour for softer and chewier cookies.You can chill the cookie log, covered, for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.If you plan to freeze, roll and slice the dough. Place the slices on a parchment paper-lined baking pan and freeze for 1-2 hours. Store the frozen slices in a plastic ziplock and freeze for up to 3 months. Make sure to bake a few minutes longer for frozen cookies.
