Recipe

• 1 mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
• 2 cream the butter until it's smooth in a large bowl with an electric mixer, on medium speed(sometimes i'm just too lazy to get out my mixer and do this by hand).
• 3 add the brown and sugars and beat until well mixed. add eggs and vanilla and mix well . reduce speed to medium low, add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, and mix until a soft dough forms(again, i usually do this by hand).
• 4 add chocolates and mix well. cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for about 1 hour.
• 5 preheat oven to 350* f.
• 6 line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside(sometimes i just spray generously with cooking spray when i don't have parchment paper).
• 7 place the confectioners' sugar in a bowl. keeping dough well chilled, form 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball. roll the ball in the confectioners' sugar to coat generously(don't shake off excess sugar).
• 8 place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. bake cookies 10-12 minutes or until they have puffed up and cracked and are slightly firm to the touch.
• 9 move the cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely. store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. enjoy!
