CHOCOLATE ZEBRA COOKIES



Chocolate Zebra Cookies image

This is from the recipe card that came with my new large cookie scoop from Pampered Chef. I have not tried these. I'm posting it here before I lose it. I'm posted exactly as the the recipe says, but I'm sure you could cook on regular cookie sheets, but personally I would line them with parchment paper. The card also says this makes one dozen large cookies. The card also says the scoops volume is approximately 3 tablespoons.

Time 31m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 ounces white chocolate, melted

  • In a medium sized bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy.
  • Add egg and vanilla to cream mixture; beat well.
  • Add flour mixture and chocolate chips; mix well.
  • With the large pampered chef cookie scoop, drop 6 scoops of dough, 3 inches apart, onto rectangle stone; flatten slightly (cookies will spread while baking).
  • Bake 14-16 minutes or until cookies are almost set and cracked on top. (Centers will still be moist. Do not over bake).
  • Cool 5 minutes on stone; transfer to cooling rack; cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and help the cookies achieve a light and fluffy texture.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you create uniform cookies that are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Zebra butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their classic black and white design, they are sure to be a hit with everyone. By following these tips, you can make perfect zebra butter cookies every time.
