Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (110g) packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips for extra richness
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves. This creates the flavorful spice blend.
- Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Optional: Fold in chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips for an extra decadent touch.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the cookies for up to 3 months, layering with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
