Instructions

  • Combine cocoa, flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl.
  • Melt I Can't Believe It's Not Butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; cool slightly.
  • In another bowl, add the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and the sugar, and whisk until smooth.
  • Whisk in the eggs, one at a time until well-blended.
  • Stir in the vanilla and add the flour mixture until well-combined.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours.

  • Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place onto greased cookie sheets.
