These cookies may be small, but every bite is packed with big chocolate flavor. I sometimes dip the tops of the cookies in the frosting instead of spreading the frosting on top. Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter |
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate |
1 cup sugar |
1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, beaten |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
frosting: |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 to 3 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, egg and egg yolk. Stir in vanilla and chocolate mixture. Gradually add flour to chocolate mixture.
2. Roll into 3/4-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until firm. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
3. For frosting, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in the sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cooled cookies. Yield: 5 dozen.
