Steps:
- In a food processor, add the cold butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix at low speed for a few seconds until the butter is all chopped up.
- Add the egg, flour, and baking powder and mix again for a minute or two until the dough starts coming together.
- Divide the mix into 2 bowls and in one add the cocoa powder. Knead well with your hands until the dough comes together into a smooth and solid ball. At this point, it shouldn't crumble anymore.
- Cover both doughs in plastic wrap and flatten it into a disk so it will be easier to roll out.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven at 350°F / 180°C.
- Take the dough out of the fridge and place it on a wooden board or table dusted with flour. Roll it out with a rolling pin about 1/4 inch (6mm) thick and cut out the shapes with cookie cutters.
- Transfer the cookies to a lined cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Take them out of the oven and transfer them immediately (carefully!) to a cooling rack and let them cool down completely before you decorate them.
- You can melt a couple of tablespoons of dark chocolate for a minute in the microwave and drizzle the melted chocolate on the cookies with a teaspoon.
