• Beat butter, molasses, cocoa, 1/3 cup sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl until well blended. Beat in flour on low speed just until blended; dough will be firm.

• In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda and whisk well to evenly distribute.
• In 1/2 cup increments, add the dry ingredients into the dough mixture in the stand mixture bowl. Gently mix until the added flour is just incorporated between each addition.
• Use a cookie scoop (or two spoons) and scoop a ball of dough onto the cookie sheets allowing for ample space between each cookie. Press each cookie to flatten a bit. I used the bottom of a drinking glass that I sprayed with cooking spray. Then top each cookie with an almond slice.
• Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes each. Allow to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
