  1. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder and beat until well combined.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.

  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat.
  9. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are cracked.

  12. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
