– Butter – Sugar – Vanilla Extract – Flour
In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed.
Add in the eggs to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until these wet ingredients are smooth.
While your eggs are getting incorporated, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate large bowl.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Don’t dump it in all at once, or you’re guaranteed to have lumps in your cookie dough.
Use a cookie scoop to drop evenly-sized cookie dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet.
