Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. And line a rimmed sheet pan with a silicon liner or parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa and baking powder and then set off to the side.

Step 3

In the bowl of your stand mixer add butter, both sugars and salt. Mix on medium-low until combined. Add one egg at a time and mix after each addition.

Step 4

Scrape down the sides of the bowl before gradually adding the dry ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined. Add in the chocolate chips and mix by hand until incorporated.

Step 5

Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, place 12 rounded balls of dough onto prepared sheet pan. Bake in preheated oven for 6-8 minutes. If still soft after 8 minutes, bake for 1 minute increments. (in my oven 8 minutes is perfect)

Step 6

Immediately once out of the oven, use a drinking glass to cover the cookie and make a swirling motion. This will correct any imperfect edges, yielding a perfectly round coal cookie.

Step 7

Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
