Soft Chocolate Cookies bring a feeling of comfort and joy. As I search the old cookbook and pull out some of my personal favorites, I felt compelled to write about this one. Not only am I writing about it, I'm making them myself. In fact I am pulling out the ingredients and bouncing back and forth to the computer. I just put it into the oven. Here are a few pictures of the process. This is what your gonna need for this recipe.
1 1/4 cup of flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of soda
1/4 cup shorting
1 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 squares of unsweetened chocolate (2oz)
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 cup of buttermilk (tip: if you don't have buttermilk take 1/2 cup of milk and add 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes)
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour with soda and salt. Stir in shortining until soft then beat in sugar gradually. Beat until smooth and then add egg. Melt chocolate over hot water and add it along withe the vanilla and buttermilk. Beat until smooth and creamy. Pour batter onto a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool and then cut cookies into any shape you like.
If you would like to drop cookies in spoonfuls rather than a batter consistency, follow the following instructions.
Sift flour, soda and salt, set aside. Softened butter and gradually beat in sugar. Beat until smooth and then add egg. Beat hard. Melt chocolate and add along
with vanilla. Stir in buttermilk and sifted ingredients. Mix well and drop onto ungreased cookie sheet by the spoonful. Cook for 15 minutes.
