Time 2h

Yield about 90 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Sanding sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 325 degrees F. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and cloves in a medium bowl.
