Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.

  • Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, combine cocoa, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • While mixing, slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together and no dry spots remain.

  • Combine melted butter with the cocoa powder and mix until smooth. Slowly mix in milk and vanilla until combined. Stir in powdered sugar and mix until smooth and creamy.
  • When cookies are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on each one.
