Description

Ingredients

• 2½ cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup cocoa
• 1¼ tsp baking soda
• 1¼ cups butter (room temperature) - if you use unsalted butter, add ¼ tsp of salt to the dry ingredients when you mix
• 2¼ cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2½ tsp vanilla
• ¼ cup sugar - on the side

Directions

• Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
• Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and combine.
• In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda and cocoa. If you used unsalted butter add ¼ tsp salt to this. Use a whisk to combine and set aside.
• Into the creamed butter/sugar mixture, beat in the eggs.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and combine using a mixing spoon.
• Form the dough into balls roughly the size of golf balls. Roll and coat them in the reserved ¼ sugar.
• Place 6 balls evenly spaced onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for about 12 minutes.Once the first 6 are done, then the next can go into the oven.
• Its important to avoid crowding the cookie sheet so that the cookies dont all become 1 giant cookie. Its a good idea to have 2 cookie sheets on hand so you can get one ready while the other ones bake.
• Allow the cookies to cool for a couple minutes on the cookie sheet before moving them to a cooling rack.
