Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cup flour
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 12 tbsp unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg together on medium-high speed until smooth.
- Slowly, blend in the dry ingredients to the wet until they are just combined. Be careful not to over mix!
- Cover the bowl of dough with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. On a floured surface, roll the dough out with a rolling pin until it's about 1/4-inch thick. Using a maple leaf shaped cookie cutter, cut out the cookie shapes and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a light shade of golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple minutes. Enjoy!
