So yummy, you won't mind cleaning up after Santa!

COCOA FUDGE COOKIES

1 C. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
5 Tbsp. Earth Balance
7 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
2/3 C. white sugar
1/3 C. packed brown sugar
1/3 C. plain or vanilla soy yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Combine flour, soda, and salt in a small bowl. Melt EB in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in cocoa and both sugars. Transfer to a large bowl and add yogurt and vanilla, stirring to combine. Add flour mixture, stirring until moist. Drop by level tablespoons two inches apart on baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until almost set. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you want. Cool on pans for 2 to 3 minutes or until firm, then transfer to wire racks. Makes 19 with my medium cookie scoop.
