Chocolate Drop Cookies – Little Devils

Ingredients

  • 2 squares Unsweetened Chocolate
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups flour sifted
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda

Instructions

  1. First, melt your chocolate. I cut it up a little first, then heated it up in the microwave for 1 minute at a time.
  2. You also need to melt your shortening. Then add your chocolate to that. Now cream your brown sugar, milk, and egg, and add in your chocolate/shortening mix. Now slowly add your flour, salt, soda.
  3. These cookies are best smaller, as they are cake-like and you can’t eat too many. So instead of using my cookie scoop, I did the ol’ spoon with spoon scoop. They don’t get quite as uniform this way, but it gives them a little charm to be a little wonky.
  4. Bake them at 375* for 7-9 minutes. Once cooled, add a little white frosting to the tops. My Mom also suggested I add some red and green sprinkles to each cookie, making them a little more festive. Now they’re perfect for the holiday cookie swap.
