Chocolate Cookies

These are ,by far, my favorite cookies. For some reason, I only make them around Christmas time — what a shame! They are a bit more “fussy” to make than most cookies because of the fact that the dough needs to rest overnight — and it is really sticky to handle. I use my favorite cookie drop to make the perfect circles of dough — I did break one cookie drop on the stiff dough, though!

Here is the recipe. I hope you give it a try — and not just save it for Christmas!

Chocolate Cookies

1/2 c salad oil
4 squares melted chocolate
2 c sugar
Combine and beat well.
Add 4 eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each egg. Add 2t vanilla then add 2 c sifted flour, 2 t baking powder.
Chill over night. Form into balls roll in powdered sugar, place on well greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350o for 10-12 minutes DON’T OVERBAKE!!!!!
