Cookie Crusts
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder. Add flour mixture slowly to sugar mixture while stirring. Mix just until all ingredients are combined.

Drop the dough onto greased cookie sheet by rounded tablespoonsful. Leave at least 3 inches in between each one; dough will spread as it bakes.
