Chocolate Sugar Cookies

I took these photos with my laptop computer. Not the best quality. I don't think that it does justice. So these chocolate sugar cookies have a subtle chocolate flavor. The basis for these cookies is Ethel's sugar cookies found in Betty Crocker's Cookie Book. It is a vintage cookie book from 1963. I made some tweaks to the recipe to include chocolate.

So here is the recipe:

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the dry ingredients and set aside. Mix butter, sugar eggs, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients.

If you want to roll out this dough and cut out the cookies, you will have to chill the dough for at least an hour. However formed the dough into a ball, dipped it in sugar, and pressed down the ball to form it into a cookie. Bake for about 9 minutes until the cookies are done.

I bet this cookie would be good adding in some expresso powder, just saying.
