Calories: 146kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter Unsalted
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg Large
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- ½ cup Cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
- Dump this dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. I noticed that using my hands for mixing everything together was much easier.
- Refrigerate this dough for 2 hours. I refrigerated overnight. It was rock solid when I took it out in the morning so I allowed it to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Roll out the dough and use cookie cutters to make shapes.
- Place cookies gently on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 375 degrees (8 to 10 minutes for small cookies or 10 to 12 minutes for larger cookies).
- Let them cool down completely and then remove from the cookie tray. And you are done! Enjoy!
Notes
- Read my tips above.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge or room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Cookie dough can also be frozen in a tightly sealed freezer bag for up to 1 month.
