Chocolate Cut-Out Cookies

• 2 sticks margarine
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 10 Tablespoons cocoa

Directions

Cream margarine and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Combine flour, cocoa, and baking powder; add and mix well. Spoon dough onto waxed paper and wrap. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours. Divide dough in half. Roll out each half 1/2 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters; place on lightly greased cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Servings depends on size of cookie cutters used. (The smaller the cookie cutters, the more cookies you'll have.)
