Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. At low speed, add Pure Vanilla Extract (1 Tbsp) then the Large Egg (1) . Scrape down the bowl again.

Step 4

Meanwhile, add the All-Purpose Flour (1 1/2 cups) , Baking Powder (1/2 Tbsp) , and Salt (1/4 tsp) to a medium bowl. Add Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (3/4 cup) and whisk until well incorporated.

Step 5

With the mixer on low-to-medium, gradually add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.

Step 6

Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured board. (Or between two sheets of parchment or waxed paper.)

Step 7

Cut into it with a floured cookie cutter into shapes of about 2 1/2-inch in diameter.

Step 8

Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheets with a small space between each. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes.

Allow the cookies to remain on the sheet for about 1 minute then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
