5g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 tbsp butter
16g
2/3 cup sugar
130g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 cup dry cocoa powder
150g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Creaming Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer or a whisk. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
4. Adding Eggs and Vanilla:
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Incorporating Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually mix in the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the dry cocoa powder until the dough is just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Shaping the Cookies:
- Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to form 1-inch balls from the dough.
- Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
7. Baking:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly crinkled on the surface.
8. Cooling:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Enjoy:
- Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Midnight Moon Cookies with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!

Tips:

- Make sure to sift the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder to avoid any lumps and ensure a smooth batter.

- Soften the butter at room temperature rather than melting it to maintain the right cookie texture.

- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies keep their shape.

- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet.

- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack for the best texture and flavor.

With their deliciously rich flavor and satisfying texture, Midnight Moon Cookies are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy them with a glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or even on their own as a delectable midnight snack. Happy baking!
