Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free baking blend.
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Dutch-process cocoa can be used for a milder taste.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Ensure it's fresh for best results.
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter At room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs Room temperature for better incorporation.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Coating

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar For rolling the cookies.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a mixer until smooth and pale (2-3 minutes).
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until fully combined.
  • Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft, sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or up to 2 days.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and coat them generously in powdered sugar.
  • Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set but centers are still soft.
  • Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm or let cool completely for a better presentation. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
