Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 sticks salted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Bakin Soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar Reserve to roll dough in

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using Mixer, Cream butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar together.
  • Add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Blend well
  • Combine cocoa, baking soda, salt, and flour together. Then slowly blend it into the creamed mixture.
  • Using a spoon as your measuring device. Scoop dough out and roll into balls. The dough balls should be about the size of a ping pong ball.
  • Roll the dough balls in the 1/4 cup of sugar you set aside, then place onto the lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 minutes. The cookies will puff up while they are baking and then will flatten out once they have completely cooled. Leave cookies on the cookie sheet for a few minutes to "set" before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling
