3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup margarine, softened
3 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 teaspoon salt
Confectioner’s sugar
In a large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar and margarine. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy, 1-2 minutes. Add melted chocolate and vanilla. Continue beating, scraping bowl often, until well-mixed, 1-2 minutes. Reduce speed to low; add all remaining ingredients except confectioner’s sugar. Continue beating, scraping bowl often, until well-mixed, 1-2 minutes.
Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set.
Let stand 5 minutes; carefully remove from cookie sheets. Cool another 5 minutes. Roll in or sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar while still warm and again when cool.
Yield: about 5 dozen
I always leave out the nuts, and roll the cookies 3 times rather than 2 (twice when cool).
