Ingredients
  • ¾ cup + 2 tbsp (200 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup + 2 tbsp (100 grams) confectioners' sugar
  • 2 cups + 2 tbsp (275 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • ⅛ cup cocoa powder, sifted
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of your electric mixer, mix the butter and sugar until fluffy.
  2. Add the flour, a few tablespoons at a time.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Using your hands, form a ball.
  5. Cut the ball in half.
  6. Add the cocoa powder to one of the halves and knead it into the dough.
  7. Place both dough balls on a larger plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Place one of the dough balls on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about ⅛-inch (0.3 cm) thickness.
  10. Use an ⅕-inch (5 cm) round cutter to cut out round shapes.
  11. Use a slightly smaller cutter to press it into each cut out round. Press only about halfway through to make a decorative indentation.
  12. Using a wider straw, cut out buttonholes (use a toothpick or a wooden skewer to remove the dough from the inside of the straw).
  13. Transfer the rounds onto the lined baking sheet.
  14. Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for about 9-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  15. Repeat with all the remaining dough.
  16. Re-roll any scraps and cut out more cookies.
  17. Enjoy!
