Ingredients
- 1 cup Flour
- 1/2 cup Sugar (or more)
- 1/2 cup Cocoa
- 2 teaspoons Flavoring (From the poster: "I used raspberry; orange or almond would work nicely too)"
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- Splash of liquor to match flavoring (From the poster: "I used Chambord")
Directions
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, salt and baking baking powder. Separately, mix flavoring and eggs. Combine. Add splash of liquor or water as needed to have a sticky consistency. If the mixture is too stiff, it won't spread out properly.
Put this on a greased cookie sheet and arrange it into a log about 15 inches long and 1 1/2 - 2" wide. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes, then slice diagonally into 1/2- 3/4" slices. I got 18 pieces from mine. Place the slices on their side and put back in the oven (300 degrees) for 15 minutes. Turn over and cook another 10-15 minutes.
From the poster: "If you can afford the fat, a small drizzle of semisweet chocolate is wonderful on these when cooled. I used about 2 T. for all the cookies, which added about 6 g. fat to the recipe or 1/3 g. fat each one."
