Sour Cream Chocolate Cookies

submitted by mreader on June 14, 2012 at 9:25 p.m.
A cake-like chocolate cookie that freezes well. Yield 4 dozen

2 ox. semi-sweet baking chocolate
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream (regular or light, not fat free)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Melt chocolate, and set aside to cool.

Cream together shortening and sugar, then add eggs and mix well. Mix in chocolate. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. Sift or whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, about one-third at a time. Chill one hour (can bake immediately but the cookies will spread a little more).

Preheat oven to 350F. Drop dough onto greased baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Baking time and yield will vary depending on size of cookie.

Spread the word

I printed this recipe back when KAF hosted the Baking Circle. I found it while sorting my stacks of printed recipes and discovered that it had not been posted to this site, so I have typed it in. I also baked the recipe using a 1 Tbs. scoop and got 45 cookies that needed to bake for 12 minutes.
