Instructions
- Mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and all dry flavor additions in a bowl.
- Whisk eggs, sugar, oil and liquid aromatics until smooth, then stir into the dry mix.
- Cover and refrigerate dough at least 2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
- Heat oven to 350°F (177°C). Roll 30 balls firmly in the full measured 100 g powdered sugar; place on parchment.
- Bake 10–13 minutes until puffed and cracked yet slightly soft in the middle; cool on pan 5 minutes.
- Do not flatten the coated dough balls; the contrast develops as they expand.
Tips
- Measure flour by weight; extra flour makes dense, dry cookies.
- Chilled dough and parchment promote even geometry and prevent sticking.
