Add flour, dutch process cocoa powder, caster sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a food processor.

Mix all dry ingredients together quickly to combine.

Add cubed butter to the dry ingredients in the food processor.

Pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Add 1 beaten egg to the mixture.

Pulse again until it forms a dough, which takes around ten seconds.

Scoop a generous heaped teaspoon of dough for each cookie and place them on a baking tray, leaving space between each cookie.

Pat down each cookie slightly to flatten the top.

Chill the dough in the fridge for around 20 minutes if time allows.

Bake the cookies at 350 degrees F for 9 minutes.

Remove cookies from the oven and let them rest to develop crinkles on top.

Allow the cookies to cool completely before assembling them with buttercream frosting.

Pipe the buttercream frosting generously around the edges of the cookies to assemble.

For a mint variation, add natural peppermint flavor and a tiny bit of green food coloring.
