Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar for dusting
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Take small portions of dough and roll them into ropes about 6 inches long. Twist the ropes into a knot shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until set. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar and drizzle with melted chocolate for an elegant finish.
