|
| Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl combine first four ingredients; thoroughly blend. Using 1 teaspoonful of dough for each cookie, shape with hands into 2-inch logs. Place 1/2 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in 350° oven for 13 minutes. Cookies will remain quite pale. Cool thoroughly. Melt chocolate and shortening over hot water or carefully in microwave oven. Remove from heat; stir. Dip ends of each cookie into chocolate. Place on a cookie sheet lines with waxed paper. Chill until firm. Makes about 6 dozen. If a very chocolatey cookie is desired, double chocolate and shortening. | |
