- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Notes
- For extra richness, add ½ cup of mini chocolate chips to the dough.
- For a more robust cocoa flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- These cookies freeze well for up to 2 months.
