Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.25 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.13 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups butter , softened
• 1.25 cups white sugar
• 1 egg

Instructions

1. 1 Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.
2. 2 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.
3. 3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. 4 On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Dough will be sticky so be sure to add more flour to the rolling surface as needed. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
5. 5 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.
