Notes

*This recipe was written using an average of the dip and sweep method for measuring flour and the spoon and level method. If you are using a scale, you will need to add 3/4 oz or 22 g  to the measurement for each cup of flour.
  • Make sure that you have dutch process cocoa powder and not natural process!
  • Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla for a full 10 minutes.
  • Be careful to not over mix the batter.
  • Once the batter is made, work quickly! If the batter sits too long, you won't get the shiny crust on your cookies.
  • To ensure each cookie is the same size, use a cookie scoop!
  • The less you bake the cookies, the more fudge-y they will be.
