Chocolate Drop Sugar Cookies
Okay, I decided to share some of the things I’ve been making for our family here. This domain was supposed to be a cooking site before I used it as my personal blog so I think sharing my favorite recipes would sit well with my blog. :DSo for today, I’d like to share the recipe for the Chocolate Drop Cookies that I’ve been feeding my little siblings as well as random people in our village. Its really easy to make and it takes just a few minutes to prepare the cookie dough. This recipe is based from Hershey’s Chocolate Drop Sugar Cookies but to save money since a large box of Hershey’s Cocoa Powder here costs P300+, I decided to substitute it with regular baking cocoa. I found some in one of the local bakery supplies shop in our supermarket here so its easy to find and cheaper too.

Chocolate Drop Sugar Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease cookie sheet.
2. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until well blended. Add egg and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add alternately with buttermilk to butter mixture. Using ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop dough about 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheet.
3. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until cookie springs back when touched lightly in center. While cookies are on cookie sheet, sprinkle lightly with additional sugar. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 1 dozen cookies.

I’ve tried using butter and margarine on two separate batches and they turned out the same way. Though I prefer the batch where butter (Magnolia Gold was the one available in the grocery though I usually use Anchor butter) was used since it felt more creamy and it tasted more like chocolate cake. I used unsalted butter because I prefer using it. If you only have margarine (like Dairi Creme) at home you can use it as a substitute.
I used refined sugar in making this and I used confectionair’s sugar for the sprinkled sugar on top. For the recent batches I made, I opted not to add some sugar on top since the cookie is pretty sweet already. I tried adding chilled Nestle All Purpose Cream on top of the cookie after baking and it tasted like eating an ice cream sandwich. xD So far my little siblings love it, and the neighbors approved of the taste so I’d be keeping it in my little recipe box since its a great thing to serve when relatives come over since they got lots of children in tow when they do visit. 
That reminds me that I have to go window shopping again for some coffee tables. We need a new one for the veranda where we have our coffee in the morning.
