Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF / 175ºC. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown and white sugar till smooth.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and mix in the vanilla, salt, and baking soda, blending well.
Stir in the cocoa powder and then fold in the flour.
Knead gently into a dough.
Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough to a ½ inch thickness, and press out shapes using a cookie cutter.
Place the shapes on a lined baking tray and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool.

Tips
Make the cookie dough ahead of time and keep in the fridge. The cookies will
taste even better
if they are
chilled
for at least 30 minutes.
Just be careful not to over-bake these cookies - they are meant to be soft and chewy!
