1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup unsweetened dutch-process cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
1 large egg, beaten lightly |
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar plus additional for dusting hands |
Directions:
1. In a bowl (preferably metal) stir together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt and, using finger, blend in butter. Stir in egg until mixture is blended. Spread dough in a thin layer in bowl and freeze 10 minutes, or until firm.

3. Spoon level teaspoons of dough onto a sheet of wax paper. Put 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and dust hands with additional.

Cool cookies on racks.
