Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
1/4 cup butter-flavored Shortening
1 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder and salt
1 large egg
2 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup confectioners sugar, sifted
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp utter, melted
1/4 tsp almond extract
Coarse Colored Sugar or Candy Sprinkles
In a mixing bowl, blend together the butter and shortening with an electric mixer on medium speed setting for about half a minute. Add the sugar, baking powder, and salt, blending the mixture again, until well combined. Beat in egg, egg yolks, and vanilla. Add the flour a little at a time, blending for as long as you can with the mixer; then, when the dough becomes too dense for the mixer, continue mixing with a wooden spoon.
Transfer 3/4 cup of the dough to a small bowl. Add confectioners (“confectioners”) sugar, cocoa powder, and melted butter. Blend well. Shape the cocoa-flavored dough into about thirty 1 inch balls.
Blend the almond extract into the remaining cookie dough. Mold about 1 tablespoon of the almond-flavored dough around each cocoa ball. Roll gently to form a smooth round ball. Roll each ball in colored sugar or candy sprinkles as you go. Place balls 2 inch apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10-11 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
