Chocolate Cream Drops - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 unsweetened chocolate square, melted
1/2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour, plus
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup nuts
icing
1 tablespoon butter
1 ounce chocolate, melted
1 cup powdered sugar

Preparation

Mix thoroughly shortening, sugars and egg. Stir in melted chocolate. Next stir in sour cream (or milk) and vanilla. Sift flour, soda, and salt together and stir into batter. Mix nuts into dough. Chill dough if soft.
Heat oven to 375\u00b0F
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Bake about 10 min until soft, when touched lightly with finger, almost no impression remains.
For icing, melt chocolate and butter together (about 1 minute on High in microwave, stir after 30 seconds) then mix in powdered sugar until spreadable. If you need to refrigerate this and it gets hard, soften in microwave on high for 10-15 seconds. Spread icing on cookies when cool.
