1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups plus 2 TBS flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
14 TBS butter
1 3/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 TBS vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Pour the granulated sugar in a pie dish and set aside. In a medium bowl, stir the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and baking powder.
In a large bowl melt 10 TBS butter in the microwave until just melted. Add remaining 4 TBS and allow to sit until melted and cool, about 5-10 minutes. Should read at 90-95º on a thermometer.
Whisk the brown sugar, vanilla, and salt into the melted butter until the mixture is completely smooth. Whisk in the egg and egg yolk until smooth. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
Roll the dough into balls, about 2 TBS for each cookie. Roll the balls in the granulated sugar and place on cookie sheet. Flatten the cookies. Sprinkle with more sugar, if you want.
Bake the cookies for 9 minutes, or until they have puffed and have cracked running through the top.
Notes: Original recipe calls for 12-14 minutes in the oven, but I don't make my cookies into 2TBS balls, that's huge! I like smaller, normal sized cookies.
