Brownie Cookies : )

This recipe is not original with me. I got it from the pinterest.

I baked these cookies for my Sunday school kids for Valentines Day,
and kids really liked them.

It is sweet, but not too sweet.  It is pretty soft. 
I want to call it "Brownie Cookie".

 

Cocoa Cookies½ cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1½ cups all purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 tsp salt

Cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and stir. In another bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt together. Add flour mixture, a little at a time to creamed butter mixture and mix until smooth. Form dough in a ball and wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Put dough in freezer about 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350º. Spray cookie sheets.

Roll out dough on floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut cookies with cutter. Place cookies on sheet at least 1" apart. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool on rack.  (Once again, this is not my recipe.)

Enjoy!!!
