Chocolate Chanukkah Stars
Healthy Holiday Recipe

Ingredients:
1/4 cup prune butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Confectioner's sugar

Directions:
In a large bowl, beat prune butter, sugar and eggs on medium speed of electric mixer. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Cover; refrigerate dough until firm enough to handle.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness; cut with star-shapped cookie cutter (can use menorah, dreidel and others).

Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 5 to 7 minute, or until no imprint remains when touched lightly in the center.

Cool 1 minute; remove cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Recipe makes about 4 dozen Chocolate Chanukkah Star Cookies.
