Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup powdered sugar for rolling

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
  7. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If you prefer a softer cookie, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking sheet for a longer time.
