Ingredients:

Cookies:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

- 1 cup packed brown sugar

- 1 large egg

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

Cream butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the batter slowly. Blend thoroughly. Turn out the dough on the surface and knead until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

Preheat oven to 350° F. Let the dough sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly. Roll into golf-ball-sized balls and roll in granulated sugar. Press the dough with cookie stamps on a baking sheet to release designs. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool on a rack and decorate as desired! Makes about 18 cookies.
