Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Pour in the melted butter, then add the eggs and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir everything until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until just mixed—be careful not to over-mix!
- Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies have a crinkle top.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version, and substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
- Optional Variations: Add chocolate chips or nuts to the dough for extra texture and flavor. A sprinkle of sea salt on top just before baking could enhance the richness!
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To enjoy them warm, microwave for 10-15 seconds just before serving.
