Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to make the dough easier to handle.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and then roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Bake: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are crinkled.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
