Domino Cookies

This is a fun recipe which you could do with other members in your family like younger siblings and have a great time doing. Along with making domino shapes you could also cookie cutters to make snowmen and other figures. I hope you enjoy this recipe and like always, have fun!

Step 1: Making the Batter

Mix together with a wooden spoon, or your hands:

- 1 cup butter (if salted don't add the pinch of salt)

- 3/4 cup confectioners or powdered sugar

- 2 teaspoons of Vanilla Extract

- 1 egg yolk

and add:

- 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour

- 1/4 cup cocoa powder

- and a dash of salt (if butter is not salted)

all sifted together into the mix

Step 2: Letting the Batter Sit

After making the batter, divide the batter into two bowls, and cover with a wet towel or saran wrap, so the batter doesn't dry out. The batter shouldn't be much drier than when you first put it in the fridge.

Step 3: Making the Shapes and Cooking

First, set the oven to 375 F/ 190 C

Now you can make the domino shapes. An easy way to do this is to use a square cookie cutter, and then cut that in half, for the small rectangles. For the small indent in the middle, very lightly use a knife to make a very thin cut in the middle of the rectangles.

Now, but the cookies in the oven for 10 minutes, let cool, and enjoy!
