Ingredients

• 225 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 56 grams Unsalted butter
• 95 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Powdered sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and creamy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 5

Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until a thick, sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 8

Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 9

Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have a crinkled surface and are just set around the edges.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your rich, chocolatey truffle cookies!
