The Best Chocolate Cutout Cookie Recipe Ever

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.25 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.13 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup butter, softened
• 1.25 cups white sugar
• 1 egg egg

Instructions

1. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; then set aside.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, cream together butter and sugar until the mixture is smooth. Beat in the egg thoroughly. Gradually stir in the sifted dry ingredients to form a soft cookie dough. Divide the dough in half, flatten each portion, and wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the wrapped dough for at least 2 hours.
3. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough out to approximately 1/8 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes. Note that the dough may be sticky, so add more flour to your rolling surface as required. Place the cut cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Let the baked cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
