THIS cookie recipe comes close to the wonderful taste of chocolate that Mama was able to produce in her cakes and cookies. Because of the crackles in these cookies, my granddaughter tells me I've made a mistake when I bake them. But they taste so good, she adds. -Ruth Cain, Hartselle, Alabama
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt
confectioners' sugar
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the sugar, egg, oil, chocolate and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Chill dough for at least 2 hours.
