Chocolate Crackle Cookies

Chocolate Crackle Cookies
Delicious chocolate-filled cookies! :)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Whip up the butter a bit in the mixer.


Add the brown sugar and whip together for about 3 minutes.



Add the eggs and mix well for about 3 more minutes.


Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and whisk well.




Once the eggs are whipped well, add the flour mixture in small batches, mixing thoroughly in between each addition.



Take dough by 2-tablespoon balls (I used a small ice cream scoop), and coat them with the confectionery's sugar.


Bake for about 13 minutes, until the tops, through the cracks, look like stiff, well-done brownies.

Done! :)
