List of Ingredients




2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter or margarine at room temp
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar

Recipe



Mix flour, baking powder and cinnamon.

Beat butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs until mixture is pale. Beat in vanilla and chocolate until blended. With mixer on low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture just until blended. Refrigerate dough about 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.

Heat oven to 350. Lightly grease cookie sheets.

Shape heaping teaspoonfuls of dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in confectioner’s sugar. Place 1 ½ inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.

Bake about 12 minutes until tops are puffed and cracked. Do not overbake. Cookies are soft when hot but firm and chewy when cool. Remove to wire rack to cool. Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze.
