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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough is smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
