Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• food coloring (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are set. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
7. For icing: whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.
8. Dip tops of cooled cookies into icing, letting excess drip off. Place on wire rack to set.
