Instructions

Step 1

Adjust oven rack to the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 3 sheet pans with partment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add 1 3/4 cup of the sugar, and beat until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla, and beat on low speed until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat again on low speed until combined.

Step 4

Place the remaining half cup of sugar in a medium bowl.

Step 5

Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 ounce portions. Roll each ball in the sugar. Place 8 cookies on each sheet pan.

Step 6

Bake one pan at a time, rotating halfway through baking. Bake until the sides are set and the top begins to crackle, 12 to 14 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the sheet pan to a wire rack and let the cookies cool for 5 to 10 minutes on the pan, then remove the cookies and let them cool completely on The wire rack. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
