Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
