Preparation

Step 1

*1*. Beat butter, granulated sugar, egg yolks, milk and vanilla until fluffy. Combine flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Cover; refrigerate dough about 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.

*3*. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool completely.
