Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Dutch cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar + extra for rolling
- 2 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine the softened butter and sugar. Cream the butter and sugar together on high speed until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. (This breaks down the sugar crystals; don’t skip!) Then turn the mixer on low and add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Once combined, turn off the mixer and scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Turn the mixer on low, and slowly add the flour mixture. Scrape the bowl and beat again for 30 seconds. Do not over-mix.
- Pour some extra sugar into a bowl to coat the cookies. Portion the dough into heaping tablespoons and roll into 1 inch balls. The dough should be soft and delicate - Don't over-handle. Shake each ball in the sugar bowl to coat. Then place the balls on the cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Use the bottom of a drinking glass to press each ball, until it's 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake each sheet of sugar cookies for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden and the centers are just barely set. Cool completely on the cookie sheets.
Notes
- These cookies are somewhat thin and soft. If you would like thicker puffier cookies, chill the dough for at least 1 hour before rolling into balls. Make sure to work fast so the dough is still cool when it goes into the oven. Bake for 11-14 minutes.
- If you want to turn these delicate cookies into cut-out cookies: Use 3 1/4 cups flour and 3/4 cup cocoa powder. Make sure to chill the dough before rolling and cutting.
