2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
2-3/4 tsp baking powder
1-1/8 cups shortening or butter (I use butter flavored shortening)
2-3/4 cups sugar
1 cup cocoa powder
6 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar and cocoa for about 4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat until well blended. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and mix only until combined. chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop the dough by the tablespoon (I use a small ice cream scoop) into the powdered sugar and roll until well coated. Place on greased cookie sheets (I cover sheets with parchment so I don't have to grease them--easier clean up!) and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Do not over bake. Loosen the cookies from the pan while still warm.
I LOVE my stacking cooling racks! So great for a small kitchen!Enjoy!
