# Required Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 170 g all-purpose flour
02 - 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
04 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 115 g unsalted butter, softened
06 - 150 g granulated sugar
07 - 1 large egg, room temperature
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

09 - 50 g rainbow sprinkles

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly mixed.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
04 - Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture and beat until blended.
05 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
06 - Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and roll them evenly in rainbow sprinkles before placing on the prepared baking sheets about 5 cm apart.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and chewy.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before serving.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Ensure butter and egg are at room temperature for optimal mixing and texture.
02 - Chilling the dough improves shape retention and enhances flavor depth.
03 - Monitor baking time closely to maintain a soft, chewy center.
