This recipe came from my sister who is the best baker in my family. These cookies are the best if you like soft, doughy, sweet cookies. I have never had them with the nuts, but if you choose to include them, use only half of the chocolate chips (6oz). Having a big sweet tooth, I never understood why people would ever use UN-sweetened chocolate squares, so I tried it with semi-sweet and man were they too sweet with the frosting! I have also seen my sister use cocoa in lieu of choc. squares, but am not sure of the exact measurement. Note: I usually use 1-2 tubs of the pre-made regular vanilla frosting (not whipped), but I couldn't remember the size of the container..hence the two cups.... Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
1/4 cup shortening |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 large egg |
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares |
1 3/4 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) |
2 cups vanilla frosting |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and shortening adding sugar gradually.
2. Beat well, then beat in egg.
3. Melt chocolate in double boiler; stir into creamed mix.
4. In a separate bowl, sift dry ingredients together (flour, baking soda, salt).
5. Add to chocolate mix alternatively with milk.
6. Mix well.
7. Stir in vanilla and chocolate chips and/or walnuts, if desired.
8. Use teaspoons to drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. (I like bigger cookies so I use tablespoons.).
9. Bake 8-10 minutes at 350°.
10. Cool and frost.
