Holy Kakow Chocolate Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

• 3 ounces holy kakow cocoa powder (Sub holy kakow raw organic cocoa powder for a lighter chocolate flavor)
• 1 cup butter (Sub extra virgin coconut oil for a coconuty twist)

How to make

1. Melt oil/butter in pot on low while adding the cocoa powder until completely combined.
