Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
In another bowl, beat eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until fully combined.
Chill the dough for about an hour to help retain shape during baking.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and then coat with powdered sugar.
Place them on the prepared baking sheet two inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
