– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions

3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
6. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
7. Pipe the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming 1-inch round cookies with a swirled design.
8. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
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 more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder. You can also experiment with different piping tips to create unique designs on the cookies.
