Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cup(s) butter, softened
1 cup(s) sugar
2/3 cup(s) powdered sugar
1 - egg
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
3 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/4 cup(s) baking cocoa

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  • Divide dough in half. Add cocoa to one-half and mix well. Roll each half between waxed paper into a 9-in. square. Cut both squares into three 3-in. strips. Cut the strips in half lengthwise to make six 4-1/2-in. x 3-in. rectangles. Place one cream-colored rectangle on a large piece of plastic wrap; top with a chocolate rectangle. Repeat layers twice. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. Unwrap and cut widthwise into eighteen 1/4-in. slices.
  • Cut each slice with a horse-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let stand for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool.
