👩🍳 Instructions:

Make the Batter:
In a large bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, sugar, and oil until well combined. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. -
Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a soft, sticky dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips.ADVERTISEMENT
-
Chill the Dough:
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the dough is firm enough to scoop (overnight is even better). -
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. -
Shape the Cookies:
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. For a crackly finish, roll each ball in powdered sugar before placing on the baking sheet (optional for shine only). -
Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed, cracked, and just set around the edges. The centers should still be soft. Do not overbake. -
Cool and Enjoy:
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.ADVERTISEMENT
