Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 60 grams powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and kosher salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Scoop out heaping teaspoons of dough, roll them into small balls, and coat each ball thoroughly in powdered sugar.
Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Juniorettes and enjoy their tender, chocolatey goodness!
