Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cups flour
(sifted, read instructions)
1/2 cup cacao powder
1 tsp arrowroot powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
Directions:
- Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla and beat again.
- Measure the flour and sift into a bowl. Next you will remeasure it. With a spoon, scoop flour into measuring cup and level off with a knife. Do not tap the cup or push it down. You will have leftover flour – this is normal. Don’t use more than the amount of sifted flour you measure out. If you do, the cookies will be dry.
- In a separate bowl, sift all the dry ingredients together so they are well combined, then add this to the wet mixture.
- Chill the dough for at least one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Scoop out dough in tablespoon amounts and gently roll into a ball.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Do not flatten. Bake for around 8 minutes. You will notice the edges are set and the dough has gone from shiny to matte.
- Remove from the oven and gently flatten with the back of a spatula.
- Allow to cool and enjoy!
