CHOCOLATE CREAM DROPS

From Betty Crocker's 1958 "Dinner for Two" cookbook, chocolate cookies that seem a bit different than other chocolate cookie recipes I've tried. Update: The texture of these is much more like a cake than a cookie or a brownie. To make them more cooking like, I'd recommend using butter instead of shortening and full fat sour cream. Also I've updated to add an icing recipe which really makes these stand out.

Ingredients

1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg
1 unsweetened chocolate square, melted
1/2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour, plus
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup nuts
icing
1 tablespoon butter
1 ounce chocolate, melted
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

Mix thoroughly shortening, sugars and egg. Stir in melted chocolate. Next stir in sour cream (or milk) and vanilla. Sift flour, soda, and salt together and stir into batter. Mix nuts into dough. Chill dough if soft.
Heat oven to 375°F
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Bake about 10 min until soft, when touched lightly with finger, almost no impression remains.
For icing, melt chocolate and butter together (about 1 minute on High in microwave, stir after 30 seconds) then mix in powdered sugar until spreadable. If you need to refrigerate this and it gets hard, soften in microwave on high for 10-15 seconds. Spread icing on cookies when cool.

Time 40m

Yield 42-48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
8 ounces sour cream
2 cups flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted (divided)
1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 350F degrees.
In a large bowl, cream the butter at high speed for one minute. Add the brown sugar, baking soda and salt and continue to mix until they are well combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Now beat in the melted chocolate, then the sour cream.
Begin to mix in the flour in thirds until well combined and the dough begins to stiffen. You may need to add the last bit by hand using a wooden spoon.
Chill dough for 30 minutes.
Place rounded teaspoons of dough on an untreated baking sheet about two inched apart . Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are firm.
Remove cookies to a cooling rack to cool. Once cool, spread a small amount of frosting on each cookie (frosting directions appear below). These will keep in a tightly covered container for three days. You can also freeze the cookies before frosting for up to one month.
To prepare the frosting, place the butter, salt and vanilla in a medium bowl and whip until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the cocoa and one cup of the powdered sugar. Add in the milk to soften the frosting a bit. Add in the remaining powdered sugar in parts, mixing well until incorporated. If it get too thick for spreading, then add a bit more milk.

Tips:

Use a good quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50% is a good choice.
Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped before melting it. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
Don't overheat the chocolate. If the chocolate is overheated, it will seize and become grainy.
Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients together. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly.
Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cream drops are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these delicious cookies that are sure to please everyone.
