Servings: 12
Calories: 187kcal
Ingredients
- 125 g unsalted butter, chilled and chopped into cubes
- 75 g caster sugar
- 20 g cocoa powder
- 150 g plain flour
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 80 g Christmas sprinkles, red, white & green, see notes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C/340°F (150°C fan) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the chilled butter cubes into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 12 sec/speed 5 until softened. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.
- Add the caster sugar, cocoa powder, plain flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. Mix for 20 sec/speed 4. Scrape down the bowl and mix again for 10-40 sec/speed 4. The mixture will look like damp sand, which is normal for cocoa-based dough. When pressed with your fingers it should clump together easily. Once it holds when squeezed, it is ready to roll.
- Scoop out pieces of dough roughly the size of a walnut and roll into balls. Dip each ball in sprinkles to coat, then place onto the prepared tray, leaving room for spreading. Lightly press each one down with your palm.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges feel just set. The cookies will naturally crack as they bake.
- Leave the cookies on the tray for 10 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They will be very soft straight from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
Notes
Sprinkles: If you can’t find the exact sprinkles shown in the photos, both Woolworths and Coles stock a range of festive sprinkle mixes and Christmas shaped decorations that work just as well.
