Snowy Chocolate Crescents

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  

Method

1. Preheat oven to 325º F.
2. In a small bowl, combine flour and cocoa. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed. 
4. Add vanilla and egg, and beat until light and smooth. 
5. Scrape down sides of bowl, then add the flour and cocoa mixture. 
6. Blend on low speed until thoroughly combined. The dough will be dry and crumbly.
7. Shape a level tablespoon of dough into a 3-1/2 inch log. Slightly bend the log to form a crescent shape. 
8. Form remaining dough into crescents, and place on ungreased cookie sheets, 1 inch apart. 
9. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the outside of cookie is hard but the center remains soft.
10. Cool on cookie sheets for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a flat surface to cool a few minutes more. 
11. While still warm, roll the cookies in powdered sugar until coated.
12. Enjoy!
