This recipe is from my trusty 1950 Betty Crocker cookbook. The only changes I've made are lowering the amount of salt and using cocoa powder instead of 2 melted squares of unsweetened chocolate.
Chocolate Refrigerator Cookies
Cream together:
1 c shortening (I used butter)
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c packed brown sugar
2 eggs
Sift together (I always whisk together!) and stir in:
2-3/4 c flour
1/2 t baking soda
scant teaspoon salt
3 T Dutch-processed cocoa
Mix thoroughly. Shape into a 2 to 2-1/2" diameter log and wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate several hours (or overnight). Cut into 1/4" slices and bake at 400F for 8-10 minutes. (I used parchment paper on the cookie sheets. The cookies come right off!) When thoroughly cool, dust with a little powdered sugar.
Makes 3 dozen cookies.
Would I make this recipe again? Yep! The cookies have a definite, but not overpowering chocolate flavor. I know... some of you think this is bad, but most of my family are milk chocolate, not dark chocolate fans.
