Chocolate Skeleton Cookies


Chocolate Skeleton Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 Tbsp. milk
---------
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until easy to handle.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. gingerbread boy cookie cutter. Place on greased baking sheets.

Bake at 375° for 7-8 minutes or until set. Cool for 1 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

For icing, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Cut a small hole in the corner of a resealable plastic bag; fill with icing. Pipe skeleton bones on cookies.
