A decadent rich little chocolate cookie. Very pretty and simple to make. I love to use them in cookie swaps Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup unsweetened dutch-processed cocoa powder (i used ghirardelli) |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
2 large eggs, beaten lightly |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus additional for dusting hands |
Directions:
1. In a bowl (preferably metal) stir together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and blend in butter. Stir in egg and vanilla until mixture is blended. NOTE: (Some people add 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips to make richer, I did not).
2. Spread dough in a thin layer in bowl and freeze 10 minutes, or until firm.
3. Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
4. Put 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and dust hands with additional. Roll each piece of dough into a ball (small – gumball size) and then in confectioners' sugar in bowl. Arrange balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets, bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are just set. Cool cookies on racks.
