Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling and cutting
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, 1 1/2 sticks
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- Halloween small candies or sprinkles, for decorating (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, with electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in egg. On low speed mix in the flour mixture.
Divide dough in half, and form into 2 disks, each about 3/4 inch thick. Wrap each disk in plastic; chill until firm, at least 45 minutes and up to 2 days.
On a lightly floured sheet of wax paper, using a floured rolling pin, roll dough 1/4"thick
(if dough becomes too soft to work with, refrigerate for a few minutes).
Using 2 to 3 inch Halloween cookie cutters, cut out shapes, dipping cutters in flour as necessary to prevent sticking. Place on a baking sheet, spacing them 1" apart.
Bake until surface is dry to the touch, about 10 to 15 minutes. If decorating, press candies into dough halfway through baking.
Cool cookies 1 to 2 minutes on baking sheet, then move to a cooling rack.
