- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and both granulated and brown sugars until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the flour until no dry streaks remain. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Place the 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a shallow bowl.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in the sugar.
- Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a shinier crust, ensure your dough is well-chilled before baking.
- You can substitute melted unsweetened chocolate for some of the cocoa powder for an even richer flavor.
- These cookies freeze well. Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
