Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate icing (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup black icing (store-bought or homemade)
- Colorful candy (such as M&M’s or chocolate-covered candies) for buckles
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Shape the dough into cone shapes resembling witch hats and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centers remain soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Decorate the cooled cookies with chocolate icing for the tip and black icing for the base. Press a colorful candy into the icing to resemble a buckle.
- Arrange the cookies on a platter and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the icing for the best flavor.
- Consider using chocolate chips for the tip of the hat.
- Get creative with decorations, such as sprinkles or edible glitter.
