- 1 1/2 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup butter softened

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa, and salt; set aside.

- Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet. Transfer to wire racks.
Notes
To store: place the cookies in layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
