Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons milk
• 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

• ⅔ cup butter-flavored shortening

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.

Step 3

Beat sugar and shortening together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl. Add eggs 1 at a time while continuing to beat until combined. Beat in vanilla extract followed by cocoa; beat in chocolate chips. Beat in flour mixture and milk, alternating, until combined. Chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

Step 4

Roll cookie dough as thin as chocolate chips will allow. Cut out cookies using a biscuit cutter and place on a baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
