Preparation
- Step 1
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add yolk, milk and vanilla; mix until smooth. Whisk together baking powder, salt, flour and cocoa, then add to mixer bowl and mix until combined. Roll into a 10-inch-long log, wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
- Step 2
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Slice dough into ⅛-inch rounds and place on parchment-lined baking sheets. You should have about 48 cookies. Bake for about 12 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Remove from oven and let cool.

Sounds fabulous! NYT, could we please have the usual brief introduction by Melissa to her objectives with this recipe and especially a picture of the finished product to help us gauge how we're doing on our own?
Seems that the slices must be thicker than 1/8” if a 10” log equals 48 cookies.
A wire cheese slicer is great for this type of cookie dough, as long as it’s well chilled.
Is this recipe like the chocolate wafers that Nabisco used to make? They were great for pie crust!
Any way to substitute a good quality oil for the butter? Thanks!
added 1 tsp cinnamon, iced w/peppermint frosting. ooh!
