Original recipe (1X) yields 48 servings

  • 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour

  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Hershey's Special Dark)

  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
