– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 tablespoons blue food coloring
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions

2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
6. Stir in the blue food coloring until the dough is evenly colored.
7. Scoop the dough by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden on the edges.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a cakier texture, you can add 1/4 cup of buttermilk to the dough. To make the cookies extra fudgy, add 1/4 cup of melted dark chocolate to the batter. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
