Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar (packed)
• 1 whole large egg
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a uniform dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 8

Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the cocoa glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding more milk (a few drops at a time).

Step 10

Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread the glaze over each cookie. Allow the glaze to set for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
