How to cook deliciously - Black Cat Cookies

1. Stage

In a small saucepan over low heat, heat 3 tablespoons butter and cocoa powder until butter is melted, stirring until combined. Let cool 15 minutes.

2. Stage

In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat together remaining butter, espresso powder, sugar, salt, and cooled cocoa powder mixture until well combined and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add yolks and vanilla and beat until combined. Add flour in three batches, making sure each addition is fully combined before adding the next. Beat until mixture pulls towards paddle attachment to form a loose ball.
