Ingredients

  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp salted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp corn starch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, both sugars, melted butter and vanilla extract. Add in the eggs and whisk until smooth.
  • Sift in the flour, corn starch, baking powder and salt and whisk until combined. The dough will be soft so cover the bowl with saran wrap and chill for 45-60 minutes.
  • After the dough has chilled, set the Instant Pot Air Fryer Vortex Plus to Bake at 350. Scoop the dough and roll in the remaining powdered sugar. Place 4 of the dough balls into the preheated air fryer basket and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Repeat until all the cookies are made. Enjoy!
