Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher sea salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instruction

  • In the bowl, beat the butter and sugars with a mixer for about 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla with the last egg.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop dough with a cookie scoop. Roll each cookie in the 1/3 cup granulated sugar and place on prepared sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. The cookies should be soft in the center but set on the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 2 dozen.
