Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid over-mixing.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are crinkled and the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
