Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 

1/2 cup sugar 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 

2 large egg yolks 

2 tablespoons heavy cream, chilled 

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

Preparation

Place flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Add yolks, cream, and vanilla; process until mixture comes together.

Turn out dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, and flatten into a disk. Wrap well; refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until ready to use, up to 2 days.
