Chocolate Cookies Anyone?

Okay ... Nicole and I were 'talking' about chocolate cookies and what might be good ones ... Well, here are a few of the best (in my opinion)! I only wish I had pictures so you knew what you were getting into!

Mom’s Chocolate Crinkles

½ cup vegetable oil
4 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted

2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder

1 cup powdered sugar

Mix oil, chocolate, and sugar. Blend in one egg at a time until mixed. Add vanilla. Measure flour by dip, level and pour method. Stir salt, flour and baking powder. Then CHILL!

Shape 1 tsp. of dough into a ball in hand. Drop in powdered sugar. Place 2” apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes.


Grandma Shirley’s Chocolate Drop Cookies

1 cup margarine (I like to use 1 cube margarine, 1 cube butter)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
4 1-oz. squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
4 cups + 1 Tbsp. flour
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. baking powder
½ cup sour milk, ½ cup buttermilk
(can use 1 cup of either – sour milk is milk with vinegar in it)
1 cup nuts

Mix in usual baking order. Bake in 375 degree oven for 7-9 minutes. Frost with butter cream frosting.

Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
Kaye Field

Cream 1 cup shortening and 2 cups sugar
Add 2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp. Vanilla

Combine together: 4 cups flour, ¾ cup cocoa, 1 tsp. Salt, 1 tsp. Soda

Add to above mixture.

Drop by spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes at 350

Pull out of oven and put on top of each cookie ½ marshmallow on each cookie. Return to oven for two minutes. Pull from oven and pat marshmallow down. Frost or drizzle with icing when cool.
