**Chocolate Kahlua Cookie**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 large egg
– 2 tablespoons Kahlua liqueur
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg, Kahlua liqueur, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until smooth and well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie for spreading.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
9. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness, if desired.
