Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionIn a small bowl, sift flour and cocoa together.
Add coarse salt and set aside.
With an electric mixer beat butter on medium speed for 3 to 5 minutes until fluffy.
Add sugar and cacao nibs and continue to beat until very light in color, about 2 minutes more.
Add the flour and cocoa mixture and combine on low speed, until flour is just incorporated and dough sticks together when squeezed with fingers.
On a sheet of wax paper, pat and form the dough into a log about 12 to 14 inches long and 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
If you want a square or rectangular cookie rather than round, flatten each side of the log as you roll it up in the wax paper.
Chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment.
Remove the wax paper from the dough and slice the log into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Lay cookies on lined baking sheets.
Bake until firm, 17 to 20 minutes.
Cool completely on wire racks.
Can be stored in an airtight container for 3 to 4 weeks.
