Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature. If in a hurry, microwave it for about 15 seconds, but be careful not to melt it.
3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color.
4
Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure there are no lumps and all dry ingredients are well combined.
6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until all ingredients are just combined and you have a thick, luscious dough.
7
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into truffle-sized balls and place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for exactly 8 minutes. Do not overbake; they should look slightly soft in the center.
9
Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
