Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened

  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper Note: This prevents the sugar from caramelizing onto the metal.
  3. Combine softened butter and sugar in a bowl.
  4. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and integrated.
  5. Sift in the cocoa powder.
  6. Stir the mix until a thick, velvety dough forms.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the sheet.
  8. Space them 2 inches apart Note: They spread more than flour based cookies.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
