Ingredients
- 2 cups unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups cocoa powder

Instructions

- Sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt together. Add all of the flour mixture to the bowl. Mix on low speed for 3o seconds being careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough out between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Place on a baking sheet and put into the fridge for an hour.
- Cut the shapes and then put cookie dough shapes back into the fridge for an hour so they will then hold their shape better when baked.
