Chocolate Sweetheart Cookies
Combine:
1 c whole grain flour + 1/2 c if needed
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t real salt
In saucepan melt:
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
4 T unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4-1 1/2 c natural sweetener*
*I recommend agave or brown rice syrup.
You will need more if using brown rice syrup less if agave.
Let cool and add:
1 large egg or 1 powdered egg
With a mixer on low, beat until well blended.
Gradually stir in flour mixture (dough will from a ball).
Divide dough in half; roll out each on parchment paper to 1/4 inch thickness. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. Using cookie cutter, cut out cookies.
Place on buttered baking sheet. Bake 7-10 minutes.
Be careful not to overcook. Transfer to rack to cool.

Callista was going a bit crazy with the dough. She got quite a bit on herself, but some made it into the oven.
