This recipe is adapted from Williams Sonoma's cookbook Kids Baking. I reduced some of the sugar and added one step to refrigerate the dough before shaping and baking.
I often bake a double batch of this recipe and left a little note in my cookbook with the following measurements (double batch):
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cup sugar (granulated)
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) at room temperature
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
