Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these meltaway goodies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt

Now that we have our ingredients, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of making these amazing fudge meltaways:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until it’s light and fluffy.
- Add in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring until the dough comes together. Don’t overmix it!
- Using a tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until set. The edges should be firm, but the centers will still be soft.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
