📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl (or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment). Cream until light and fluffy, ⏱️ 1-2 minutes.
2
Add egg, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and cocoa and mix until combined, then mix in flour until smooth.
(226g) unsalted butter, softened1 cuplarge egg1(452g) powdered sugar4 cupsbaking powder1 teaspoon
3
Lay a sheet of wax or parchment paper on a work surface. Place half the cookie dough in the center and press to form a disk. Cover with another sheet of paper and roll to between ¼-1/2 inch thickness (as desired). Repeat with the second half of the dough.
4
Chill dough until firm, at least ⏱️ 30 minutes.
5
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
6
Remove half the dough from the refrigerator and use cookie cutters to cut desired shapes. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Chill for ⏱️ 15 minutes then bake cookies until no longer glossy, approximately ⏱️ 10-15 minutes (depending on thickness and size).
7
Reroll leftover dough and chill while cutting shapes from the second half. Continue until all your cookie dough is cut into shapes.
8
Once cookies are baked, cool completely before frosting.
9
To make the frosting, beat butter and sugar with a stand mixer until crumbly. Add salt and vanilla, then add 3 tablespoons of milk and mix until smooth, adding more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until you get a piping consistency.
10
Frost cookies as desired. Let sit at room temperature to crust, then you can stack them.
