    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: Germanlady *********Any chocolate lover will like these melt-in-your-mouth cookies. I make them year-round with variations. They're even richer with a thin coat of icing or as a sandwich cookie with frosting in the middle.)


    List of Ingredients




    1/4 cup butter, softened (no substitutes)
    1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
    1 to 2 tbsp. baking cocoa

    Recipe



    In a mixing bowl, cream the butter. Add vanilla and mix well. Combine flour, sugar and cocoa; add to creamed mixture. Beat until dough holds together, about 3 minutes. Pat into a 9-in. x 4-in. rectangle. Cut into 2-in. x 1-1/2-in. strips. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Prick with a fork. Bake at 300° for 20-25 minutes or until set. Cool for 5 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Yield: 1 dozen.
