# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup sugar, granulated.
02 - 1/8 tsp of salt.
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla.
04 - 3/4 cup cocoa, unsweetened.
05 - 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour.
06 - 1 large egg, keep it at room temp.

10 - A mix of sprinkles for garnish.

# Instructions:

02 - For about 2 minutes, beat softened butter with the sugar until fluffy. Toss in the egg and vanilla next.
03 - Work the dry mix into the butter mixture till it all comes together.
04 - Divide the dough in half. Place each between parchment and roll to about 1/4 inch thick.
05 - Layer the rolled dough (still in parchment) and pop it in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
06 - Use cutters to shape the chilled dough. Gather scraps and repeat the process.
07 - Throw them in the oven at 350°F for 11-12 minutes. Check if the edges are solid.

02 - Room temp ingredients? They're a must, trust me.
03 - If stored well, cookies stay soft for about 5 days.
