Ingredients:
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Directions:
. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, combining until a soft dough forms.
. Divide the dough in half. Mix cocoa powder into one half until well incorporated.
. Take small portions of each dough and gently press them together to create a marbled effect. Roll the marbled dough into a log shape, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
. Slice the chilled dough into cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
