Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour the additional granulated sugar for rolling into a shallow dish or plate.
Step 7
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls between your palms.
Step 8
Roll each dough ball in the sugar to coat evenly, then place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center. Avoid overbaking.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve the cookies fresh, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
