Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 4–5 drops black gel food color
  • 4–5 drops orange gel food color

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together room temperature butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients without overmixing.
  4. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Color one batch with cocoa powder and black gel food color; color the other batch with orange gel food color.
  5. Roll small pieces of each colored dough into balls and press them together before rolling into one ball. Repeat until all dough is used.
  6. Chill the cookie balls for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Allow cookies to cool slightly on sheets before transferring to a wire rack.
