1/3 c Sugar
1 Egg

1 ts Vanilla or 1 tsp vanilla
-sugar 1st dissolved in the -egg.

-CHOCOLATE FILLING-

3 tb Sugar
3 tb Cocoa powder
1 ts Oil

Enough water to make a-spreadable paste

Blend together by hand adding dough if too sticky. Roll out and cut into shapes, bake until lightly browned at 350.

NOTE: This is a multipurpose dough. I use it for Hamentashen, and also roll it out in a large rectangle  and fill with chocolate, then roll like a strudle. I've also made fruit pies with this dough. It's always a hit. I usually double the recipe when I make it.

Chocolate filling: (for 1 roll) Mix, spread on rolled out rectangle of dough, bake at 350 for about 45
mintues, or till golden.
