    About Glazed Chocolate Cookies

    Glazed chocolate cookies is a rich buttery chocolate cookies coated with chocolate glaze or melted chocolate spread. The cookie dough is made with basic ingredients like butter, sugar, cocoa, flour, and baking agents. The cookies is like a shortbread cookie dough.

    The glaze for the cookies can be made in two different ways. You can make a thick cocoa sugary glaze for the cookies or just melt some semi sweet chocolate chips and spread over the cookies like the whole wheat version which I have shared in the variation.

    It is like shortbread like chocolate cookies which is glazed with a dark chocolate glaze. The cookies are not so sweet, but with the glaze it taste yum. I actually made this batch of cookies for my little niece and she loved it.

    Why this recipe works?

    The cookie dough is an easy recipe that you can make in matter of minutes. Since it has no eggs added, you don't have to rest the cookie dough in fridge. You make it instantly and bake it immediately.

    For healthier option use whole wheat flour instead of plain flour which makes the cookies turn out just perfect. Personally I enjoy baking this cookies with whole wheat flour these days.

    Also I prefer to use melted real chocolate as glaze for the cookies. You can even use any chocolate hazelnut spread like nutella for the glaze.

    Glazed Chocolate Cookies Ingredients

    ingredients for making Glazed Chocolate Cookies

    Butter - use soft unsalted butter for making the cookie dough. Using salted butter can make the cookies too salty, so always prefer unsalted. Make sure you remove the butter from fridge at least 30 minutes before making.

    Sugar - The cookie dough doesn't uses lots of sugar because it has a glaze. I like to powder my sugar in a blender so it is fine and creams better with the butter.

    Cocoa - use the finest quality cocoa powder for this cookies. The better the quality the more delicious it gets.

    Flour to Use - I used plain flour for making this cookies. but in the video shown above I have used whole wheat flour and it was just perfect.

    Baking Agents - baking powder and baking soda is added in the cookie dough to create the perfect texture.

    For Glaze - the glaze shown in the step wise images is made with icing sugar, cocoa and water. It is a simple cocoa glaze. But in the video I melted some semi sweet chocolate chips and used that for coating the cookies. It was perfect.
