Preparation

Chef’s notes

Note 1 on Flour and Measuring:
I go for about 52 grams of my dry ingredients (37 for flour, 15 for cocoa powder). If you don’t have a scale, no problem – I measure my scooping the tablespoon into the flour and leveling it gently with a knife.
Note 2 on Cocoa Powder Types:
You can use dark cocoa powder (affiliate link) OR regular cocoa powder. The top two images in this post show what the cookies look like with dark cocoa powder – they are, obviously, darker, and the chocolate chips will look lighter in comparison. The bottom set of photos in the steps section shows what the cookies look like with regular cocoa powder.
Note 3 on Chocolate Chips:
These also work with white chocolate chips and they’re delicious! When I use the white chocolate chips, I skip the sugar rolling step.
