1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step helps your cookies bake evenly and makes cleanup a breeze. It’s a small thing that makes a big difference in the final texture.

2-Next, in a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients like flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Then, in another bowl, cream together the butter, oils, sugars, egg, and vanilla until smooth. This creates the base that holds everything together nicely.
