Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in the cocoa powder until the dough is uniform in color.
  6. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
  9. Scoop the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  10. Roll each ball generously in the powdered sugar, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  11. Place the coated balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra fudgy cookie, do not overbake.
  • Chilling the dough is crucial for easy handling and to prevent spreading.
  • You can add chocolate chips for an even more intense chocolate flavor.
