1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons lightly beaten egg (about 1/2 large egg)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease several baking sheets.

2) Sift 1 cup of the flour with the cocoa. Beat the butter or margarine until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and salt. Divide in half. Add the cocoa mixture to half of the butter mixture and the remaining 1 cup flour to the other half.

3) Place the doughs in separate pastry bags fitted with 1/2-inch plain tips. Leaving 1-inch between cookies, pipe 5 to 6 dots of one type of dough into circles onto the prepared baking sheets. Pipe a dot of the other dough into the center.

4) Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Let the cookies stand until firm, about 1 minute, then transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re near the end of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
