• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 lightly grease cookie sheet or use parchment paper or a silicon mat.
• 2 preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 3 in large bowl, mix flours, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt with a whisk.
• 4 with pastry blender incorporate the butter into the flour mix using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture looks evenly crumbly.
• 5 stir in chocolate chips.
• 6 in a medium bowl whisk together the milk, vanilla and the egg.
• 7 add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until evenly moist. mine was very moist but if yours is not add a tablespoon or two more of milk.
• 8 place some flour mixed with cocoa powder onto a flat surface and turn out the dough. divide dough in half and pat each half into 6 inch circles. cut the circles into 6 wedges, like a pie. my dough was so moist this was difficult and at this point i was wondering what i did wrong.
• 9 place wedges on baking sheets and bake for 17 to 20 minutes. i baked mine for 20 thinking they would take longer to cook as they were so moist but the were perfectly baked at 20.
• 10 to make a glaze, melt 2/3 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips with 1/4 cup half and half in a small bowl in the microwave. or use some nutella.
