Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder until blended together.
- Add in flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until crumbly. Use your hands to finish mixing the dough until it becomes a ball.
- Roll dough into a log shape. Slice into 1/4 inch slices and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove and cool completely.
- Melt chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl for about one minute, stirring until smooth. Spoon into a ziploc bag and snip off the corner. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Add sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Combining the cocoa powder with the butter directly helps keep the dough well blended!
- Dough will be crumbly. Warm your hands and continue combining the dough until a ball forms.
- Cool the cookie completely. For best taste, these cookies should be cooled completely. They will be soft as they come out of the oven. Cool on a wire rack and they will become melt in your mouth.
- Alternatively to making round cookies, you can make cookie sticks. Press the whole ball of cookie dough onto the parchment paper to form a rectangle about 12x10-inches and 1/4 inch thick. Bake for about 20 minutes and immediately cut into sticks with a pizza cutter or sharp knife while warm.
- Store cooled cookies in airtight container for up to 5 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
