Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut oil for butter. For gluten-free cookies, use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour.
