Yield: 24

Nutrition Facts: servingSize None, calories 325 calories, Sugar 29 g, Sodium 192.8 mg, Fat 16.4 g, Saturated Fat 10 g, Trans Fat 0 g, Carbohydrate 44.2 g, Fiber 1.5 g, Protein 3.1 g, Cholesterol 56.2 mg

Ingredients:

• 2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3 1/2 cups brown sugar, loosely packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 1/4 all-purpose flour (see notes for exact grams)
• 1 cup dark cocoa powder (see notes for exact grams)
• 1-2 tablespoons espresso powder (optional, but recommended if you’re using regular cocoa powder to give the flavor more depth)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• extra cane or granulated sugar for rolling
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)

Instruction:

1. Preheat oven to 350. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing gently until just combined.
2. Add flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined into a soft dough.
3. Form into balls (about ¼ cup per cookie / ball). Roll each ball in the extra sugar (mixed with cardamom, if you want). Bake for 10-12 minutes (I recommend 6-8 at a time on the baking sheet, so you’ll need to bake in batches). Remove from oven and let them rest – you want the cookies settle down a bit and give you crisped edges with thicker, soft-baked centers.
