Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter and mix just until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed until the dough comes together. The dough will be crumbly but should hold its shape when pressed.
Using your hands, form 1-inch balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bottoms are set. Avoid overbaking; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
While the cookies bake, pour the granulated sugar into a small bowl. Once the cookies are cool enough to handle but still warm, roll each cookie in the sugar to coat it evenly.
Place the coated cookies on a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will become wonderfully tender and crumbly as they set.
Store the Polvorones de Chocolate in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
