Many years ago this recipe was given to me as a recipe that was one of (or like)Fannie Farmer's chocolate cookies. My recent research shows that Fannie Farmer lived and published a cookbook in the late 1800's. I have never seen one of her cookbooks though her recipes remain popular.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares, melted
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
Directions:
1. Cream shortening, gradually adding the sugar, creaming well.
2. Beat in the egg, chocolate, milk, vanilla and salt.
3. Gently, but thoroughly, stir in the flour.
4. Put through a cookie press or drop by level teaspoon fulls, 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes.
