Steps:
- Whisk the flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, the baking powder and salt in a bowl. Beat 1 stick butter and the granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.

Transfer to the prepared baking sheets; prick with a fork and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Chill until firm, 15 minutes. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are firm, 13 to 16 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.

- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor.
- If you want a thicker filling, add more cornstarch.

- If you are making vanilla sandwich cookies, use a simple vanilla buttercream frosting for the filling. This will give the cookies a classic, timeless flavor.
