Old Fashioned Chocolate Sugar Cookies

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (we like Hershey's)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter (softened)
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• butter or Pam cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Grease cookie sheets with butter or no-stick vegetable oil spray.
3. Mix butter, shortening, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until creamy. Slowly stir in cocoa, flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Roll 1/2 inch balls of dough and dip them in the granulated sugar to coat them.
5. Arrange cookies 2 inches apart on a greased cookie pan (I used butter, you could also use non-stick vegetable spray).
6. Cook for 5-6 minutes, allow to cool completely.
