Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder.
  3. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring gently until just mixed.
  4. Divide the dough, keeping one part vanilla and folding cocoa into the other for a marbled effect.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet. Roll the dough into balls and space them on the sheet.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set with slight cracks. Cool on tray for a few minutes before transferring to a rack.
