Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup cocoa
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• Dash of salt
• Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
• Granulated sugar to roll cookie balls in.
• For the Icing (small batch to decorate 2-3 dozen cookies with snowflakes)
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups confectioners sugar

Directions

• Cream butter and sugar Add eggs and cocoa and beat at low speed until mixed well Add flour, soda, salt and cinnamon and mix until well blended. Roll into balls, about the size of walnuts and place 2 apart on greased cookie sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll the balls in sugar and flatten with the bottom of a cup Bake for 10-12 minutes Once cool, decorate with royal icing if desired. Grandma would make these by just decorating them with colored sugar.
• Add egg white to bowl of mixer and beat until frothy. Add vanilla and 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar and mix until it is the consistency of toothpaste. You may need to add more powdered sugar to get the right consistency, but do it in small increments. If it becomes too thick, add water in wee increments. Fill icing bag. I used a Wilton #3 round tip to make my snowflakes.
