Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Shape and bake: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, coat in granulated sugar, place on baking sheets, and bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set.
