My mother used to make these cookies, they are my all time favorite. She usually frosted them with a white icing. I made them for my children but they usually didn't last long enough to get frosted. Now I make them for my 14 month old granddaughter. They are so soft and so good! I usually double the recipe. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Mix thoroughly sugar, shortening and egg. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients and stir in. Add nuts.
2. Chill dough for 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet.
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Cool. Frost with chocolate or white icing. Enjoy!
