Chocolate Shortbread Cookies

Step 1

Cream together butter and sugar, then slowly beat in flour and cocoa powder.

Step 2

Using a medium sized cookie scoop, portion dough onto a lined baking sheet. Roll the dough into balls and then press flat with your hands, a fork, or a cookie press. Dip the fork or press in cacao powder or powdered sugar first so it doesn't stick to the dough.

Step 3

Bake at 350F for 10 - 12 minutes until turning a slight golden brown on the bottom.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes. Move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
