Ingredients
  

The Cookie

  • • 3 cups flour
  • • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • • 1/2 tsp salt
  • • 1 cup butter softened
  • • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • • 2 large eggs
  • • 1 tsp vanilla

Optional

  • • favorite cookie cutters
  • • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

  • Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Mix butter and sugar until fluffy. Combine eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix until it forms a dough. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for an hour.
  • Remove from refrigerator and cut into 3 parts and, one piece at a time, roll into a ball then roll flat to 1/4” thick. Cut out cookies until all the dough is used.
  • Place on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are firm. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle sugar over the tops. Let cool fully.

Notes

Quantity depends on the cookie size you choose.
If you make them super small, start with baking for 5 minutes and add more time in 2 minutes increments to ensure they don't burn.
