Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using a mixer until light and fluffy.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.

Baking

- Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For a sweet-salty contrast, sprinkle a little sea salt atop the cookies before baking. Consider using whole wheat flour or adding crushed nuts or dried fruits as variations.
