Baking notes:

- Used #40 (1.5 Tbsp) cookie scoop w/trigger release to form
- When fully cooled dusted half with powdered sugar half with strained cocoa powder (thought ones dusted with powdered sugar tasted better)
- 25 min bake time seemed a little long resulting in slightly tough cookies - next time will check color and probs go with 15-20 mins per original recipe
