Start by measuring out 1/3 cup of butter and place it in a mixing bowl.

Add 1.5 cups of sugar to the butter and mix until combined.

Add 4 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then sift this mixture into the wet ingredients.

Add 1 cup of baking cocoa to the mixture and stir until a thick batter forms.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Using a heaping teaspoon, scoop out the dough and place it on the cookie sheet.

Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar or use two teaspoons to coat them in powdered sugar to avoid sticky fingers.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for an unspecified time, until done.
