Chocolate Glazed S Cookies

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar plus extra for sprinkling
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup whole milk
  • colored nonpareils for decorating

Directions

For the cookies:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Line a 13x18 inch baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Spray with baking spray and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  4. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the eggs, sugar and oil. Mix on medium speed until all the ingredients are combined.
  5. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough comes together, about 3-4 minutes. Do not over mix! The dough should be soft but stiff enough that it does not stick to your hands.
  6. Add in the chocolate chips and mix.
  7. Working with a handful of dough at a time, roll out the dough into a 1  inch thick rope.
  8. Cut 5-6 inch pieces and shape each piece into an S shape about 2 inches apart. Gently press each cookie to flatten them slightly.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely before glazing.

To make the glaze:

  1. In a small bowl whisk together the confectioners sugar, vanilla and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cookies or dip the cookies in the glaze and place on a wire rack to allow excess to drip off.
  2. Decorate with nonpareils as desired.
