Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and mix until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough is smooth and fully incorporated.
Fill a spritz cookie press with the cookie dough, and press out cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If desired, decorate with sprinkles or sanding sugar before baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Be careful not to overbake as they can dry out quickly.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
