Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 35 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1-1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350. Grease 2 mini muffin pans with cooking spray(my pans each hold 24)
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Add egg yolks and beat well. Add milk and vanilla and beat well.
  4. Add dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.
  5. Chill one hour. You can chill this overnight - as I did, but I'm warning you, the dough is VERY hard. I used my pampered chef small cookie scoop to get the dough out of the bowl, and it worked fine.
  6. Roll into 1.5" balls. Scoop some out, roll into a ball shape and place into the muffin tin. Using your thumb, press into the center. Following my thumb, I used my index finger knuckle to press a deeper hole into the cookie.
  7. Bake 8-21 minutes or until done.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately plunge the handle of a wooden spoon into the cookie cup. If you don't have a wooden spoon, the back of a measuring spoon might work, too. Try not to go all the way through the cookie. Cool completely.
