Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Add the room temperature butter and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and cream with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy—about 3 minutes. Slowly add the room temperature eggs and vanilla, scraping down the sides as needed.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until the cookie dough comes together and is well combined.
Using an ice cream scoop or spoons, scoop into 1½ tablespoon balls and place about 2" apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 8-11 minutes, or until the center of the cookie is just set and the edges of the cookies are slightly firm.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
