Method
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cocoa mixture, mixing until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired.
For optional variations, add chocolate chips or chopped nuts. Consider stirring in a teaspoon of espresso powder or a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
