Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup icing or powdered sugar (approximately)
  • 2/3 cup dark cocoa powder (unsweetened)

Instruction

  • Gather the ingredients to make this recipe.
  • In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt your butter.
  • Remove from heat and add brown sugar and cocoa powder. 
  • Stir until totally blended together. Set aside until cool.
  • Once cool, add eggs and stir until combined.
  • Add flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Refrigerate dough for at least an hour.
  • Place icing or powdered sugar into a shallow bowl.
  • Remove dough from your refrigerator and roll into 1 1/2 - 2 inch balls.
  • Roll each ball around in your icing or powdered sugar until coated and place on a prepared baking sheet pan.
  • Repeat this process until all of your cookies are totally coated in powdered sugar. Make sure they are totally covered. You cannot put on too much!
  • NOTE: The cookies need to go back into the refrigerator. If you can't fit a baking sheet into your fridge, place rolled cookie balls on a plate, covered in parchment, to refrigerate and then transfer them to the baking pan just before baking.
  • Refrigerate your cookies for another 30 minutes.
  • When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the refrigerated cookies and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies start to crack around edges.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet and placing on to a wire rack.
  • Eat and enjoy!
