Chocolate Cookie with Powdered Sugar

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in 1 egg until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick.

Step 6

Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with 1/4 cup powdered sugar while still warm.
