Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Fill your cookie press with the dough according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use your desired disk shape to press cookies directly onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7–9 minutes, or until the edges are set but not browned. Be careful not to overbake.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
