Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed

Substitution Ideas:

  • Gluten-free: Replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour
  • Dairy-free: Use vegan butter and substitute buttermilk with non-dairy milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Natural coloring: Try 2 tablespoons beet juice powder for a more natural red hue

Instructions
