Christmas Black Cocoa Cookies

Last night, Anne-Claire (who was hyper as ever) and I were hanging out and I decided to whip up these delicious cooking. Unfortunately half way through I realized we didn't have enough eggs (we had eggs about 5 hours prior so I just assumed they would still be there!). Anne-Claire decided to go knock on the neighbours door... but they didn't have any either. Luckily for us, Charles brought us some and saved the day! The cookies are delicious... I absolutely love love love love them!! I decided to ice them. Some with mint icing, others with vanilla icing. It was a very fun evening.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of unsalted butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup of cocoa powder - preferably unsweetened
• 1/2 baking powder

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
2. Have a cooking sheet prepared. 
3. Place the butter and the sugar in a bowl and mix until smooth. Then add the eggs and the vanilla and mix until well combined. 
4. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and mix until everything is well incorporated. 
5. Place teaspoonfuls on the cookie sheet and put in the oven. 
6. Bake for about 12-13 minutes. 
7. Ice the cookies with either homemade icing or Betty Crocker icing and decorate. 
8. Enjoy!

Delicious!
