Servings: 4 dozen cookies
Calories: 100kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, softened
- 2 cups packed dark brown sugar 420 grams
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1-⅔ cups all-purpose flour 200 grams
- 1-¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 100 grams
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Chocolate Sugar topping:
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100 grams
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder over the butter mixture and stir until just barely combined.
- In a separate bowl or pie dish, combine the sugar and cocoa powder.
- Use a large cookie dough scooper to scoop some dough and roll into balls. Roll the balls into the sugar mixture then place on the baking sheet. Make sure you leave 2 inches of space between the cookies. Push the cookies flat to about 1/3 inch thick.
- Bake for 10 to 14 minutes. They will puff up slightly, crack, and look wet in the cracks. Don’t bake them longer or they won’t be soft and chewy.
- Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Notes
Baking time will vary depending on your oven. Some ovens cook unevenly and you may need to rotate the baking sheet half-way through the baking time.
