Chewy Chocolate Cookies
Contributor: Shelley Jones
CC Original
1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 – 3 cups flour
chocolate chips
Mix margarine, shortening, sugars, eggs, vanilla and cocoa until creamy. Add baking soda, salt and flour. Dough should be stiff (bake a test cookie for best results.) Roll balls of dough in powdered sugar and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes at 350 degrees. (If cookies bake any longer, they’ll get hard.)_
Note: This was a college favorite. I’d make a batch at night and by the next morning they’d be gone!
