– ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Let’s Get Baking:
1. Preheat that oven to 350°F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper (your future self will thank you for this clean-up hack!).
1. In your mixer, cream together butter and sugar until it’s fluffy as a cloud. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Don’t rush this part – we’re making love here, not war!
1. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to your wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Your dough should look rich and chocolatey – try not to eat it all raw (though I wouldn’t judge if you did 😘).
1. Drop rounded tablespoons onto your prepared sheets and bake for 12-14 minutes.
For the Frosting:
1. While your cookies are cooling (patience, darling!), melt butter in a saucepan.
2. Add cocoa and milk, stirring until smooth.
3. Remove from heat and gradually stir in powdered sugar until it’s silky smooth.
4. Spread this liquid gold on your cooled cookies and sprinkle with pecans.
Y’all, these cookies are more addictive than your favorite binge-worthy TV show! They’re soft, chocolatey, and that frosting? Lord have mercy!
