Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Mix the granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.

  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are set.
  10. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours.
