Ingredients:
- 1 1 / 2 cups ( or 190g ) all – purpose flour
- 3 / 4 cup ( or 65g ) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1 / 4 teaspoons ( or 4g ) baking powder
- 1 / 8 teaspoon ( or 8g ) salt
- 3 / 4 cup ( or 170g ) butter, softened
- 1 1 / 4 cups ( or 250g ) white sugar
- 1 egg
Directions:
- Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg. Gradually stir in the sifted ingredients to form a soft dough. Divide dough into 2 pieces, flatten and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F ( 190 degrees C ). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Dough is sticky so be sure to add more flour to the rolling surface as needed. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
