Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy and light.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two equal halves; mix cocoa powder into one half until well combined.
- Roll each dough half out to a thickness of 1/4 inch between parchment paper.
