Next beat in the vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix together on medium-low speed until just combined.
- Use hands to grab one heaping tablespoon full of dough and roll into a ball. Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
