So yummy… here is the recipe – enjoy!

- 1 cup (230 g) butter
- 1 cup (225 g) regular sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Bring out all the ingredients…
Put he butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla.
Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
Tip the flour mixture into the mixing bowl and beat for one minute until everything is well blended and the dough is nice and smooth.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for about 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 320 F (160 C).
Shape the dough into small balls. I use a small ice cream scoop to make all the same size.
Press down a little with the palm of your hand.
Bake for about 15 minutes.
Done! And the smell is simply divine…
