I love these beautiful cookies, because they’re everything that’s wonderful about brownies, but in easy-to-eat cookie form.

Ingredients:
| 2 ounces | , weight baking chocolate (unsweetened or bittersweet) |
| 2 sticks | softened butter |
| 2 cups | sugar |
| 3 | whole large eggs |
| 1 tablespoon | vanilla extract |
| 2 1/4 cups | 2-1/4 flour |
| 1/4 cup | cocoa powder |
| 1 tablespoon | (additional) cocoa powder |
| 1 teaspoon | baking powder |
| 1/2 teaspoon | salt |
| powdered sugar, for dusting |
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stir, and let it cool.
Mix the butter and sugar together until totally combined. With the mixer on low, slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate. Scrape the bowl and mix again. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. Scrape the bowl once more and mix.
Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir it together, then add it in scoops to the mixing bowl with the mixer on low. Scrape the bowl once and mix one final time until all combined.
Scoop generous tablespoons onto a baking sheet lined with a baking mat or parchment, then bake them for 11 minutes until poufy and set. Remove them from the oven, let them sit on the pan for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove them to a baking rack to cool completely. Once cool, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
