ingredients

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
¹⁄₂ cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder (I used Ghirardelli)
1 teaspoon baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus additional for dusting hands

directions

In a bowl (preferably metal) stir together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and blend in butter. Stir in egg and vanilla until mixture is blended. NOTE: (Some people add ¼ cup mini chocolate chips to make richer, I did not).
Spread dough in a thin layer in bowl and freeze 10 minutes, or until firm.
Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
Put 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and dust hands with additional. Roll each piece of dough into a ball (small – gumball size) and then in confectioners' sugar in bowl. Arrange balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets, bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are just set. Cool cookies on racks.

so, do you press the dough so it's the shape of the bowl?

I have been baking these cookies for about 5 years or more—incredibly simple and delicious. Boggles the mind why anyone would ever use a cookie mix. Really glad you shared!

My 8 year old daughter made these pretty much by herself. They are amazing! My 18 year old son says they are now his favorite cookie. Thank you!
