Do you have a recipe for a chocolate shortbread cookie?

Chocolate Dainties

This is a chocolate version of the popular wedding cake or tea cake. The combination of powdered sugar in the dough and the low baking temperature makes a very tender cookie. They're delectable!

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. water
2-1/4 cups flour
1 cup finely chopped nuts, if desired

Cream butter. Add sugar, cocoa, water and vanilla and beat well. Add flour and nuts, if using and mix well. Chill dough if you have time.

Form into 2" logs. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. Roll hot cookies in powdered sugar and place on rack to cool. Then roll the cookies in powdered sugar again when cool.
