Calories 100kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 8 oz unsalted butter , room temperature (let the butter from refrigerator sit on the counter for about an hour or so), not melted but softened
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- lots of sprinkles (a whole small container)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine together flour, cocoa powder, and salt and mix.
- In a separate bowl, using electric mixer, beat softened butter and granulated sugar on high speed until light in color and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla – continue beating for a couple more minutes. Turn off the electric mixer, add flour-cocoa-salt mixture and then continue beating on low speed until well-combined but without over mixing.
