1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup plus 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt chocolate in small heavy saucepan over low heat and set aside. Sift together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon, and set aside.
In electric mixer, cream together butter and 2/3 cup sugar. Add melted chocolate and egg and beat well. Dissolve Colman’s Mustard in heavy cream and add to chocolate mixture. On lowest speed, fold in sifted flour mixture. Divide dough in half.
