I’m in the mood for love…AND chocolate!

Seriously, I’m excited to be sharing nothing but chocolate recipes this month. I considered having one of my favorite Looney Tunes character kick off the month with a Valentines clip but I decided to get down to the nitty-gritty of the best dark chocolate cookie recipe I’ve ever tasted.  A big shout out for…

Super Duper Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Cocoa

3/4 cup Shortening

2 cups Sugar

2 tsp Vanilla

4 Eggs

1/8 tsp Salt

2 tsp Baking Powder

2  cups Flour

Combine ingredients. Chill dough for 2-3 hours. Form into balls and roll in powdered sugar. Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes. * If dough becomes too sticky to work with, place it back in the refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes. Makes 3 dozen cookies.

That’s it DoAheads! Come back next Wednesday for a chocolate cake recipe that’s sure to become a family favorite!
