Cooking Temp: 350 F Servings: 60

Ingredients

3 cup sifted flour
3 tsp baking powder
¹⁄₂ tsp salt
1 cup softened shortening
1 ¹⁄₂ cup sugar
2 eggs
3 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup nut meats

Instructions

Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt and sift again. Combine shortening, sugar, eggs, chocolate and vanilla, beating with spoon until blended. Then add nuts. Add flour gradually, mixing well after each addition. Shape in rolls and wrap in waxed paper. Chill until firm enough to slice. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) for 10 minutes or until done.

Instead of the chocolate squares, you can use 3 tablespoons cocoa and 1 tablespoon fat (melted) as 1 square.
