Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup cashew halves
Directions:
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add baking powder and salt. Beat well. Add flour and mix until blended. Remove 2/3 of the dough. Roll or pat the dough out to form two 10 x 4-inch rectangles. Add cocoa to the remaining 1/3 of the dough. Mix until blended.
Shape the chocolate dough into two 10-inch-long rolls. Place on a rectangle and roll plain dough to cover the chocolate dough completely, not including the ends. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Cut the dough into 1/8 inch slices with a sharp knife. Place two slices side by side on a cookie sheet to resemble an owl’s face. Pinch upper “corners” to resemble ears. Put chocolate chips in each dark circle for eyes and a cashew in the center for the beak.
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
