Ingredients
Ingredients for basic butter cookies
1/2 cup Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 1/2 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), melted and cooled
Garnish: salted roasted pistachios, finely ground; Demerara sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Follow recipe for basic butter cookies, mixing in cocoa, baking soda, and melted chocolate after adding flour (dough will be stiff). Form dough into a 14-inch log (2 inches in diameter) on a sheet of plastic wrap and roll up dough. (Dough will be hard to slice and may crumble.)
Step 2
If garnishing, roll edges of each slice first in pistachios and then in Demerara sugar.
