- 2/3 cup butter or margarine softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups sifted flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla and beat well.
In separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in pecans. Chill dough until firm. Shape dough into two rolls (7-10 inches long, 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide). Chill completely.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut cookies into 1/4 inch slices.
Place two inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 minutes.
Remove from pan and cool on racks.
- Salted butter can be used too, if needed.
- Chopped pecans or chopped walnuts work in this recipe. I love them both ways.
- Be sure to start with softened butter.
- Roll the chilled dough into 2 logs, approximately 7 - 10 inches long with a diameter of 1.5 to 2 inches.
- You could bake one log today, and save the other log for later. Or, try freezing the cookie log by placing the wrapped log into a freezer bag.
- If you don't have a sifter, use a sieve instead. It does the same thing as a sifter.
