Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Make Ahead
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days and in the freezer up to 3 months.
Note
Dutch-process cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans that have been alkalized to neutralize their acidity, which mellows the flavor and creates a richer color. Because Dutch-process cocoa powder is neutral, it does not react with baking soda and so baking powder is often used as a leavening agent. Using natural cocoa powder in this recipe will result in cookies that do not rise properly.
