HOW TO MAKE IT :
COOKIE
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar and then add the egg and vanilla. Mix well.
- Add the flour, sifted cocoa, baking soda and baking powder together. Sift as needed.
- Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and stir. (Can also use a hand held mixer) It will be a dry mixture.
- Scoop out the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cookies will spread, so be sure to place them at least 2 inches apart. (I used a measuring scoop that holds about 2 1/2 tablespoons of batter.)
- Place some sugar in a small bowl or plate and dip the bottom of a glass into the sugar and press the cookie down. (I sprayed the glass with non-stick spray the first time, you only need to spray it once.)
- Bake 8-10 minutes or until tops are just dry. Let cool on pan for a few minutes so that you can move them to a cooling rack without breaking them.
FROSTING
- In mixing bowl, place all of the ingredients and blend together using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer.
- Spread over cookie using an offset spatula or butter knife.
