Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Gradually add the chocolate-butter mixture and stir until fully combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 6
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop out 1-inch balls of dough (about 1 tablespoon each), roll them between your palms to form smooth balls, and then roll them generously in the powdered sugar to coat completely.
Step 7
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart. They will spread slightly as they bake.
Step 8
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have puffed up and the crinkle patterns have formed. Do not overbake—the centers should remain soft.
Step 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
