Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
sugars, granulated
cocoa, dry powder, unsweetened
salt, table
leavening agents, baking soda
butter, without salt
water, bottled, generic
Directions:
Into a bowl sift together flour, confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda and with a pastry blender or your fingertips blend in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add 1 tablespoon ice water, tossing mixture with a fork until water is incorporated, and add enough remaining ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, tossing to incorporate, so that mixture begins to form a dough.
Form dough into a ball and divide into 6 pieces.
Form each piece into a ball and flatten to form a disk.
Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375F.
Roll out 1 piece of dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a 5-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick).
