• Once cooled store the cookie in an airtight container for up to 3 days
• In a medium bowl mix together the soft butter, sugar and vanilla until light and pale
• Mix in the flour salt until combine. Your mix might look dry but press it together with your fingers and it will come together to form a dough
• Bake at 350F (180C) for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden in color
• Once cooled store the cookie in an airtight container for up to 3 days
• In the video I added the vanilla with the flour but I recommend adding it to the butter as it will incorporate into the mix better.
• In a medium bowl mix together the sugar, oil, egg and vanilla. Mix until smooth and shiny.
• Sift over the flour,cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and mix until combine
• Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
• Gently shape your cookie into a ball and press down until it is 5 inches width.
• Coat with icing sugar and place onto cookie sheets.
• Bake at 350F (180C) for JUST 10 minutes. This will insure a fudgy soft center.
• Let cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheets.
• Enjoy the same day it is baked.
