For a richer chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of cold water at a time until it comes together. Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Consider adding chocolate chips or chunks for an extra decadent touch.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder until well combined. (3 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
04
Step
7 mins
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. The dough should resemble damp sand. Be careful not to overmix. (7 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Press the dough firmly and evenly into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 1x2-inch rectangles. (5 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Using a fork, prick each rectangle a few times. This will prevent the cookies from puffing up too much during baking. (2 minutes)
07
Step
25 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops appear dry. (25 minutes)
08
Step
30 mins
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely in the pan before carefully lifting them out. (30 minutes)
