Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get the party started! First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and line my baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, I mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This step is crucial because it helps to evenly distribute the leavening ingredients and ensures that my cookies rise perfectly. Once that’s done, I set it aside and move on to the next step.
