- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).

- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter-sugar mixture until combined.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.

For added flair, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the ganache before it sets. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
