Preparation

Step 1

Into a large bowl, sift the cocoa and 1 cup of confectioner’s sugar. Mix in remaining ingredients. Form the mixture into 1” balls with your hands. Sprinkle about 1 cup confectioner’s sugar on a plate and roll the balls in it to coat. Store in a tin for at least 1 week before giving them away. These cookies will mellow with age and will keep up to 1 month.
