These are rich and chocolatey to the extreme.  You have been warned.

 

Cream Together

1/2 cup butter (don 't sub with margarine)

1/4 cup castor sugar (superfine sugar will do)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

 

Sift and stir into creamed mixture

1 cup self raising flour or plain flour with 1/2 teaspoon each of baking soda

and baking  powder

pinch salt

1/4 cup cocoa (Dutch process is best)

 

Roll into balls and place on greased cooking sheet with room to spread.

Flatten each ball with a fork dipped in cold water. Don't crisscross.

Bake at 375 degrees for 7 to 8 minutes.

While still warm, dust with sifted confectioners sugar.
