• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling

To make the cookies, start by sifting together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

When you are ready to bake the cookies, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in the powdered sugar until they are evenly coated. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are set around the edges but still soft in the center. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
