Preparation

Step 1

Beat together butter and sugar. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla. Slowly add the flour and cocoa powder, a little bit at a time. Mix until you have soft dough.

Step 2

Halve the dough, and flatten each into large disks. Cover and chill for 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 375°.

Step 4

Unwrap the dough, and roll out to 1/8" thickness. Use a circular cookie cutter to cut out portions. Use a slightly smaller cookie cutter to make an indentation around the outside of each cookie. Poke 4 button holes in the middle of each cookie.

Step 5

Bake for 6 minutes, and let cool completely before using the icing to pipe stitches on each cookie.
