Ingredients

• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 1 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Gradually add the chocolate-butter mixture and stir until fully combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop out 1-inch balls of dough (about 1 tablespoon each), roll them between your palms to form smooth balls, and then roll them generously in the powdered sugar to coat completely.

Step 7

Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart. They will spread slightly as they bake.

Step 8

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have puffed up and the crinkle patterns have formed. Do not overbake—the centers should remain soft.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
