Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
