Ingredients
Dough
2/3 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Filling
1 package cream cheese, room temperature
1 egg
4 teaspoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
Directions
- In a mixer, cream the butter with sugar. Add the egg and vanilla. Cream until the smooth.
- In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, and salt, then add the flour mixture to the butter mixture.
- Process until a ball of dough is formed. The dough ball should have some elasticity to it. Add flour if too sticky.
- Refrigerate dough for 90 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: beat together the cream cheese, egg, cocoa and sugar.
- Take one fourth of the dough and roll out on a lightly floured board to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut out 3 inch circles.
- Add 1 teaspoon of filling to the center of the circle then fold over three sides to make a triangle.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Bake on well-greased cookie sheets in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 15 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
