How do I add chocolate to a spritz cookie recipe?

Okay, here's the deal - I'm making a ton of spritz cookies over the next couple of days. I really prefer the texture of the below recipe to the traditional butter recipe, but I also want to make chocolate spritz cookies. I'd be adding either cocoa powder or melted semi-sweet chocolate (I have both). So... how would I go about adding chocolate to the recipe? Should I just sub a 1/4 cup of cocoa powder for a 1/4 cup of flour?

I'm making lemon, orange, almond and cardamom spritz, too, but the chocolate ones have me stumped.


Cream Cheese Spritz Cookies
1/2 lb. butter
3 oz. bar cream cheese
1 c. sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp. vanilla (or almond extract or cardamom or lemon/orange juice and 1/2 tsp. lemon/orange zest)
2 1/2 c. sifted flour

Cream butter until fluffy. Gradually add cream cheese and sugar. Beat in egg yolk, vanilla, and flour. Dough may be tinted. Press on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool a few minutes before removing.

...in melted chocolate; half the cookie plain, half dipped in chocolate.

Cheers!

I'm looking more for an oreo type chocolate cookie; a dip is messier to eat for small creatures.

....you may have to increase the sugar a bit...depending on your taste.

Cheers

But I've never made Chocolate Spritz so I can't speak from experience. I've seen some Chocolate Spritz recipes that use cocoa, others that use melted chocolate and some that use both. Soooo.... take your choice. If you use the cocoa, I'd do as you suggest and replace some of the flour with an equal amount of cocoa.

Good luck, I know they'll turn out great whatever you do...
