Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk the together the flour, cocoa powder, garam masala, cinnamon, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large heatproof bowl, heat the butter in 30 seconds intervals in the microwave until just melted. You can also melt it in a small saucepan over medium-low heat then transfer it to a large bowl.
Add both sugars to the melted butter and whisk until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Cover and chill in the fridge for 30-45 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the rolling sugar in a shallow bowl and set aside.
Use a large 2 oz cookie scoop to portion the cookies then roll into a ball.
Roll the cookies in the granulated sugar then place 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-17 minutes until cracks form on the surface and the edges are set. The insides of the cracks should look slightly fudgy.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You'll likely have to bake in batches, meaning you'll have a bit of dough still in the bowl. Keep it in the fridge while you bake the first batch so it doesn't get too sticky and hard to work with.
Storage: Place leftover cookies in an airtight container or Ziploc bag and store them at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
