Ingredients

- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- ¼ teaspoon salt

- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

- ¾ cup granulated sugar

- 1 large egg

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- ¼ cup milk

Directions

Preheat the Oven:

Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to ensure the rolls do not stick during baking.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly to guarantee an even distribution of the leavening agents.

Cream Butter and Sugar:

In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes airy and light. This process should take around 3 to 4 minutes to achieve the desired consistency.

Add Egg and Flavor:

Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until fully integrated. The addition of the egg will enhance the moisture and richness of the dough.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Slowly introduce the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients to maintain the proper balance. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which could affect the texture of the rolls.

Mix in Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.

Shape the Rolls:

Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into thin strips. Place the strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them as they will spread while baking.

Bake:

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes. They should be firm but still slightly soft in the center. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
