Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar), for rolling

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the granulated sugar and softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a thick dough forms.

Step 5

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 7

Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions of chilled dough and roll them into balls using your palms.

Step 8

Roll each dough ball generously in the confectioners' sugar until fully coated.

Step 9

Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 10

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are crackled and the edges are set. Avoid overbaking to keep the centers fudgy.

Step 11

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve at room temperature and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Pixies with a cup of coffee or milk!
