Ingredients

Servings

• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Cocoa powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon Milk
• few drops Food coloring (optional)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
3. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out cookies.
5. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
6. In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and food coloring (if using) to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
7. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
