I LOVE spatulatta.com! I have a recipe you could do.
I have more cool recipes but my favorite recipe are cocoa rounds, the ingredients are,   

• 1 2/3 cups flour
• 3/4 cups sugar
• 2 Tablespoons cocoa
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cups soft butter
• 1 egg

Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl.
Chill for 10 min. and bake at 375 f for 8-10 min.  

we like to roll them in powdered sugar after they're done.   

Love, 
Sophie ;-)
