I have made these, and people have told me that they taste just like shortbread because of the texture, and the wonderful taste.

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp milk
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cocoa
1 Tbsp butter, or margarine softened

Cream first amount of butter and sugar together, beat in egg, vanilla and milk.
Stir flour, baking powder and salt together and add. mix into a ball.
Divide into 2 portions.

To first portion add cocoa and remaining butter. Mix well.
Roll out each portion between sheets of waxed paper to 1/8-inch thick.

Remove top paper, roll as for jelly roll, removing bottom paper as you roll.
Wrap and chill overnight.
Slice thinly and place on baking sheets.
