CHOCOLATE DROP COOKIES RECIPE
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening (I use Crisco)
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Cream the first three ingredients together. Now add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Drop by teaspoons onto cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Good with chocolate icing….but perfectly delectable without it as well.
These make very good, highly original Christmas cookies. And did I mention they were choco-licious.
