20 chocolate
drops (buttons) or small squares of semisweet
chocolate
Method:
Preheat the
oven to 375°F/190°C/gas 5. Butter two cookie
sheets. Sift the flour and cocoa into a medium
bowl.
Beat the
butter and sugar in a large bowl with an
electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add
the egg yolk, beating until just blended.
Mix in the
dry ingredients. Form the dough into three equal
size disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and
refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll out the
dough on a lightly floured surface to a
thickness of 1/4 inch (5 mm).
Use a 2inch
(5-cm) cutter to cut out twenty circles and use
a 1 1/2inch (4-cm) cutter to cut out another
twenty circles, re-rolling the dough as
necessary.
Place one of
the larger circles on a cookie sheet. Place a
piece of chocolate in the center. Cover with one
of the smaller circles.
Working
carefully, mold the smaller circle over the
chocolate and turn the edges of the larger
circle upward.
Press around
the edges with a fork to seal the chocolate
completely. Repeat with the rest of the circles,
spacing 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
Bake for
8-10
minutes, or until the cookies have spread
slightly. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
Transfer to racks to cool.
