1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup dairy-free butter, melted
1/4 cup dairy-free milk
2 large eggs

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the melted dairy-free butter, sugar, dairy-free milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
Chill the dough for about 30 minutes.
Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and coat them in powdered sugar.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
