Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for color, optional)
- Colored melts or chocolate for decoration
- Black licorice or chocolate ropes for the tassels
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In another larger bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. If using cocoa powder, mix it in until well blended.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, melt the colored chocolate melts according to package instructions. Dip the top of each cookie in the melted chocolate to create the cap.
- Use a small piece of black licorice or melted chocolate to create the tassel on each cap. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
