Grammy's Chocolate Cookies

These are simply amazing! If you have ever eaten Archway Dutch Cocoa cookies, these are just like them! I absolutely loved them and could have eaten the whole batch on my own!

Ingredients:

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour

3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder (I used Hershey's)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

2 cups granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Sanding sugar, for rolling (I used Sugar in the RAW packets)

Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat to combine. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture; beat to combine. Form dough into a flattened disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 1 1/4 balls. Roll each ball in sanding sugar. Place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until set, 10 - 12 minutes, rotating halfway through. Transfer to a rack to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies from baking sheet to wire rack.

Enjoy!
