Chocolate Sparkle Cookies

We made these cookies in camp today. They have a brownie-like texture and rich, chocolate flavor. The kids worked together and we had baked over 200 of these cookies in less than an hour!! They are great just the way they are- or use them to make tiny ice cream sandwiches. Sometimes I add a little mint extract, too.

Chocolate Sparkles

1 c. butter, softened

1 ¼ c. sugar

2 eggs

2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted

½ t. vanilla

2 2/3 c. flour

1/4 c. cocoa

2 t. cream of tartar

1 t. baking soda

½ t. salt

¼ c. sugar

Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, chocolate and vanilla. Stir in next five ingredients. Chill dough. Shape dough into 1” balls and roll in ¼ cup sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 400- degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Makes 5-6 dozen.
