Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp Dutch-processed cocoa powder sifted
2 Tbsp black cocoa powder sifted*
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light-brown sugar packed
1 large egg room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 bag Bright White Candy Melts or white chocolate **, melted
vegetable shortening as needed
Halloween nonpareils

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powders, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and sugars on med-high until light and fluffy (approx. 2-3mins). Reduce speed and add egg and vanilla. Beat until well combined. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Chill dough for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Using a medium cookie scoop, portion dough onto baking sheet (I did 9 cookies per sheet). Bake for approximately 10 mins, or until the middle is set. Cookies will crinkle a bit upon cooling.
Cool on pans for 5 mins then transfer to to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dip in melted candy melts or white chocolate, place on a parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle with nonpareils. Allow to set.

Notes

* If you don't have black cocoa, you can substitute Dutch-processed cocoa. The cookies won't be as dark though.
** Read post for details on how to properly melt candy melts.
