Wolves are howling in the distance, and you're at home making cookies as dark as the night itself, with no food coloring needed. The recipe will yield you dark cookies year-round. How you choose to decorate them will set the spooky meter. We suggest making them into black cats.

Make ahead: the mixture can be chilled for 2 days before baking.

Prep Time 1 hour

Serves: 24

Difficulty Level: Low

Black Night Cookies

Ingredients for cookies:

All-Purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups

Black cocoa powder - 1/4 cup

Baking soda - 1/2 tsp.

Kosher salt - 1/4 tsp.

Granulated sugar - 3/4 cup

Unsalted butter - 1 stick (softened)

Light brown sugar - 1/2 cup (packed)

Egg - 1, large

Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp.

Method of preparing the cookies:

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
With the help of an electric mixer, beat the granulated sugar, butter, and brown sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla.
Now add the dry ingredients and beat to combine. Cover and chill in the fridge at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
With your hands, scoop small portions of the mixture, roll them into a ball and flatten them on a lined baking sheet.
If you want to decorate the cookies, now is the time. Otherwise, bake the cookies until edges are set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Chef's Tip:

Optional Halloween decorations: use almond slices, sugar drops, molten chocolate, or M&Ms to turn the dark cookies into black cat cookies.
