Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Sift in the cocoa powder and mix until well combined.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
5. Add the dark chocolate chunks and knead the dough until the chocolate is evenly distributed.
6. Form the dough into a log shape, about 2 inches in diameter, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
7. Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator and slice it into cookies about 1/4-inch thick.
8. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly firm and the cookies are set.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
