Cooking Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and creamy.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and cocoa powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add a little milk if the dough feels too firm.
Shape the dough into small balls and flatten slightly, or pipe into decorative shapes if the dough is soft enough.
Arrange the cookies on the prepared tray, leaving space between them.
Bake for 10–14 minutes, until the cookies are set. Chocolate cookies may not show obvious browning, so avoid overbaking.
Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
