Preparation

Step 1

Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg. Gradually stir in the sifted ingredients to form a soft dough.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours so that the dough is easy to handle and roll out.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters.
Bake for 8 minutes at 375 degrees.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
