Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl, mix and set aside.
    215 g plain flour (all-purpose flour), 35 g cocoa powder, 1.5 tsp baking powder, Pinch of salt
  • Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until it is light and fluffy. I used a hand mixer to do this but you could also use a wooden spoon and a bit of elbow grease.
    110 g unsalted butter, 230 g granulated sugar
  • Add the eggs and vanilla bean paste and mix well.
    2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • Gradually beat in the flour and cocoa powder mixture until well combined.
  • Place the whole bowl in the fridge and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Preheat your oven to 180℃ / 350℉ and line two baking trays with baking paper.
  • Using a dessertspoon, take spoonfuls of the cookie dough and then form them into small balls of approx 2 cm diameter by rolling them in your hands.
  • Roll each ball in the bowl of icing sugar until covered completely.

  • Space the balls out on the baking trays as they will spread as they cook.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are no longer wet in the cracks.
  • Allow to cool and enjoy.
