Ingredients

  • 1 cup (100g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup (76g) butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (320g) white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup (65g) powdered sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. Using an electric mixer, mix the butter, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and beat until combined. One at a time, add in the eggs and mix on low to medium speed until just combined.
  3. Add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the large bowl and mix on a low speed until all mixed together.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill the dough for an hour, up to overnight, depending on how thick you want your cookies. The longer you chill the dough, the thicker they’ll be.
  5. Preheat oven to 350F/177C. Place the powdered sugar in a medium bowl and roll the dough out into balls about the size of a tablespoon and cover them well with the powdered sugar.
  6. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper and place cookies on them and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they spread out and start cracking. The cookies should still be soft, so make sure you let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before moving them your cooling rack to finish cooling.

  • Make sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder, Hershey’s is better than Dutch Process.
  • If you don’t have butter sticks, you can use margarine sticks but I don’t recommend using oil in place of butter.
  • For larger cookies, increase baking time to 12-15 minutes. For smaller cookies, decrease time to about 10 minutes. 
  • Remember that the exact baking time for any sized cookies will depend on your oven. So check your cookies often. 
  • Don’t over bake these cookies or they’ll turn out hard and crunchy instead of chewy and will lose their crinkle texture
  • Don’t over-beat the eggs in the mix or the cookies will change texture.
