Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup Tootsie Roll candies, chopped into small pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
  • Make the Dough:
    • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
  • Combine the Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
    • Gently fold in the chopped Tootsie Roll pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Form the Cookies:
    • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly firm but the centers are still soft.
  • Cool:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve:
    • Enjoy these chewy, chocolatey treats once they have cooled, or store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, add an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder to the dough.
  • For a fun variation, try adding mini chocolate chips to the dough along with the Tootsie Roll pieces.
  • Make sure to chop the Tootsie Rolls into small pieces to avoid large clumps that may not bake evenly.
