Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with parchment or silpats.
2. In a bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg until combined.
4. Slowly add the flour mixture until incorporated. Once the dough starts to pull away from the sides the dough is ready.
5. Split into two and wrap in plastic wrap, chill in the fridge until ready to use.
6. Roll out the dough to about 1/4″ thick. Use your cutter to cut out the shapes and transfer onto the silpat lined baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10 minutes, depending on your oven. Let cool on a wire rack.
8. Use the icings to pipe various tie designs. When the icing is dry the cookies are ready to serve.
