My Family Cocoa Butter Cookies [CNY 2014]

This is a chocolate flavour butter cookie similar to my earlier posting on MY Family Butter Cookies.    It's crispy, buttery and very fragrant.  I have been using this recipe for well over 20 years and always a favourite of many visiting relatives during Chinese New Year.
 Ingredients
[makes 120 pieces]
250 gm butter [I used Golden Churn brand]
110 icing sugar
1 small egg
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 tsp salt
270 gm plain flour - sifted together with cocoa powder
30 gm cocoa powder [I used Van Houten cocoa powder]
4-5 red cherries - diced
  1. Cream butter and icing sugar until light.  Add egg, vanilla essence and salt.  Continue beating until creamy and fluffy.
  2. Stir in sifted flour and mix until well combined.
  3. Remove a portion of the mixture into a piping bag with a star nozzle fitted to it.
  4. Pipe star rosettes onto baking trays lined with parchment paper.
  5. Place a piece of diced red cherries on each rosette.
  6. Bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Remove to cool on wire rack before storing in airtight container.
