Chocolate Cookies

Very simple cookies. Kneading the dough takes a lot of work through, it took much longer than the other cookie recipes.

Ingredients

  • 350g flour
  • 250g butter
  • 150g cane sugar ("Rohrzucker")
  • 50g baking cocoa
  • Optional: ehocolate

The ingredients resulted in 1 tightly packed baking sheet of cookies. You may want to scale down the ingredients a bit to make sure that the cookies will fit. Should be easy, since each weight is a multiple of 50g.
