Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat them together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined, ensuring that the egg is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Once chilled, divide the dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Starting from one end, roll the rectangle tightly into a log. Repeat with the second portion of dough. Wrap each log in plastic wrap again and chill for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the logs from the fridge and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly firm but the centers are still soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure your butter is adequately softened; it should be at room temperature for the best texture. Don’t skip the chilling steps; this is crucial for maintaining the shape of your spirals.
