Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure butter is softened but not melted.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • as needed Chocolate sprinkles (for decoration) Sprinkle on top before baking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and light in color, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fill your cookie press with the dough (or roll the dough into balls and flatten).
Baking
  1. On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe out the dough into fun shapes, leaving space between each cookie.
  2. While the dough is still soft, sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on top of each cookie.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers remain soft.
  4. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months in a freezer-safe container. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to regain freshness.
