Equipment

  • Preforated Baking Mats
  • Baking Pans
  • Stand Mixer
  • Rolling Pin
  • Food Scale
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Oven Thermometer

Ingredients
 
 

  • 226 grams unsalted butter cool, not room temperature
  • 220 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg cold
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon Americolor Forest Green gel food color
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 20 grams natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 384 grams all purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. I always use an oven thermometer. Ovens can, and usually do, heat at a different temperature than what shows on your oven screen. For the best results in any of your baking, I highly recommend using an oven thermometer. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add your cool unsalted butter and sugar. The temperature of the butter and the fact that you use unsalted butter matter here.
  • Turn your mixer on the lowest speed available. We don't want to incorporate any air into the dough. Air will cause spreading! We only want to mix this until it starts to incorporate.
  • Add the egg, vanilla, Americolor Forest Green gel food color, vinegar, and salt. Again, the temperature of the eggs matter. You want to use them cold.
  • Again, turn your mixer on to the lowest speed and mix just until the wet ingredients have incorporated together. It will still look sort of lumpy or curdled. This is ok. You just don't want any big chunks of butter. Scrape down the bottom and sides of your bowl. If you need to, mix for a few more seconds.
  • Add the flour and cocoa powder into your wet ingredients and mix on low until the dough forms, comes together and starts to clean the sides of the bowl.
  • The dough may seem like it's not going to come together. Let it mix, and I promise it will.
  • This is when I get the comments "it's super crumbly should I hand knead it?". No, it's not done mixing, let it finish and it will come together.
  • Turn the mixer off and touch the dough. If you can leave an imprint with your finger without the dough sticking to it, its ready. I live in a humid area, but the amount of flour in the recipe is perfect 9 1/2 times out of 10.
  • I use a piece of parchment paper very lightly sprinkled with flour to roll my dough. I also use two pieces of 3/8 inch thick wood as my guide to roll my dough between. This will give you perfectly even cookies every time!
  • Take half of your dough, place it onto the very lightly floured parchment paper, and very lightly sprinkle some flour over the dough.
  • Place your cut dough onto your parchment paper covered cookies sheets and bake in your preheated oven for 12-14 minutes depending on the size of your cookies. I never have to bake over 14 minutes, even for my largest cutter (5 1/2 inches). They should no longer appear wet in the middle.
  • After removing from the oven, let the cookies set on the cookie sheet for 2-4 minutes.
  • Move them onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • I usually let my cookies sit in a tupperware container on a paper towel overnight before decorating. This will help grab any extra butter so you don't get that dreaded "butter bleed" after you've spent 2 days decorating them!
  • Enjoy your delicious, thick, soft (but sturdy), sugar cookies!
