Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a hand mixer), cream together the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- With the mixer on low, mix in the dry ingredients just until the dough is well combined. Do not over mix.
- Add remaining ¼ cup granulated sugar to a small bowl. Using a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop dough into 1 ½ - 2 tablespoon sized balls. Gently roll between your palms into a smooth ball and roll in sugar to coat. Set on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until they are just starting to turn golden brown on the edges, rotating the trays halfway through baking. Do not overbake. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
