- 1 cup cocoa powder (90 grams), dutch processed
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch (24 grams), aka cornflour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Sift the flour, cocoa, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Incorporate the eggs and vanilla into the butter mixture, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Slowly mix the flour combination into the butter mixture until combined. The dough will be thick.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 48 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- If the dough has been refrigerated overnight, let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften. Form balls from the dough weighing around 3½ ounces (100 grams) each, placing them at least 2½ inches apart on the sheets.
- Bake one sheet at a time in the oven for about 12-14 minutes until the tops are set.
- For round cookies, use a biscuit cutter or large cup to gently mold the cookies into shape right after they come out of the oven.
- Cool the cookies on the tray for at least 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
