Ingredients
1 1/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2c. sifted powdered sugar
1 egg
3 c. flour
1/2 c. cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
4 oz. semisweet, bittersweet chocolate or white chocolate
Preparation
Cream the butter and sugar. Blend in egg. Stir together flour, cocoa and salt and add to butter mixture; blend well. Chill dough 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the dough about 1/4-to 1/8-inch thick, cut with heart-shaped cutters and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake about 8 to 10 minutes. (These burn easily, so pay attention.) Cool. Melt the chocolate (following the instructions in the accompanying article) and either frost the cookies entirely or drizzle chocolate over them.
