- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together your softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in each egg one at a time until well incorporated.
