  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup cocoa
  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Divide in half and shape each half into a cylinder about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and then place into freezer bag and refrigerate or freeze until firm enough to slice, about 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Slice cookies about 1/2 inch thick and set about 1 inch apart on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Cool cookies on cooling racks and store in airtight container.
