chocolate sugar cookies

These were good and easy. Next time I will measure how much mint extract I put in the green icing so that it is less refreshingly reminiscent of toothpaste.

Mix together:

  • 3 c flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
In electric mixer, mix up:
  • 1 c softened butter
  • 1 1/2 c sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 c cocoa powder
Add flour mixture to the other ingredients and mix. 
Dump it out and knead in to a ball and refrigerate for 1+ hour. 
Roll it out 1/4 inch thick. 
Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes. 



We used food coloring from natural dyes for the first time and was happy with the vibrant colors.
