Chocolate cookies

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour  (Maida)

1/2 cup cocoa powder(you can use drinking chocolate powder, I use that)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
3/8 teaspoon salt 
50 gm unsalted butter, softened 
1/4 cup granulated sugar 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method of making

Preheat the electric oven to 180°C and place a rack in the center. Line one baking sheets with nonstick foil or parchment paper. 

 Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together in a medium-size bowl; set aside.  In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and creamy. Beat in the vanilla and continue mixing on medium-high speed for another minute. By hand, stir in the flour mixture until incorporated. Scoop up level tablespoonful’s of batter and shape into balls. Arrange the balls about 2 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Let cool on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
