Ingredients

1 cup butter, at room temperature 2 sticks
½ cup confectioners/powdered sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons creme de cacao or milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ⅓ cups all purpose flour
optional decorations: sprinkles crushed peppermint, etc.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Beat butter with a stand or electric mixer on medium-high for 30 seconds. Add sugars and cocoa powder until combined.
1 cup butter, at room temperature, ½ cup confectioners/powdered sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Beat in egg yolk, milk (or creme de cacao), and vanilla. Add flour.
1 egg yolk, 2 tablespoons creme de cacao or milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 ⅓ cups all purpose flour
Use a cookie press or roll dough in small balls and flatten slightly. Place 1-inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Decorate as desired. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are firm but not brown (this sounds kind of odd since they are brown cookies, but you get the idea).
Remove from sheets and cool on a rack.
