Ingredients
- 3/4 Cup butter
- 1 Cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 Cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 squares unsweetened chocolate melted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- chocolate chips for decorating
- whole cashews for decorating
Servings: cookies
Instructions
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In a microwave safe bowl melt the chocolate and let cool slightly. Mix in the baking soda.
- Remove 2/3 of the cookie dough to a floured surface. Blend the chocolate and soda mixture into the remaining 1/3 of the dough.
- Roll out 1/2 of the light dough into a 16" x 4" strip. Shape 1/2 of the chocolate dough into a 16" long snake and place in the center of the light dough. Mold the light dough around the chocolate and wrap in foil. Repeat with the remaining dough and chill for 2 hours or up to 5 days.
- Cut the dough into slices approximately 1/4" thick. Put two slices together (dampen the touching edges). Pinch the corners to create "ears". Place two chocolate chips in the center of the dark dough to create eyes and a whole cashew in the center for the beak.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes or until edges are very slightly browned. Check often. Cool completely and store in airtight container.
