Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • to taste sea salt for sprinkling
  • for dusting powdered sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out dough balls. Roll them in powdered sugar before placing onto the baking sheet.
  2. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on each cookie.
  3. Bake for about 12-15 minutes. The edges should be set while the centers are soft.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil instead of butter. Swap granulated sugar for brown sugar for a deeper flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
