Adventures in Baking - Grammy's Chocolate Cookies

These cookies are super simple. Since there aren't many ingredients make sure you use top quality cocoa powder, butter and vanilla. It makes a difference!

1. Cream 2 1/2 unsalted butter and 2 cups sugar in a food processor until light and fluffy.

2. Add 2 large eggs and 2 tsp pure vanilla extract.

3. Sift together 2 cups flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt.

4. Slowly incorporate dry ingredients into the wet. Form dough into a ball and freeze for 1 hour.

5. Divide into balls, rolling each into sanding sugar. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
