Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Powdered sugar (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully combined. Let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Gradually stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until a thick, sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to handle.
Step 8
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
Step 9
Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
Step 10
Arrange the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have a crackled appearance and are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Step 12
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 13
Serve and enjoy your rich and fudgy flourless chocolate snowball cookies!
