I have the recipe for my Grandmother’s awesome chocolatey cakey cookies. I’ve made them several times and I’ve called her several times because they just don’t taste the same. I think she’s keeping something from me. They are still very good cookies with lots of possibilities. Enjoy!
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups cake flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup buttermilk
-Cream shortening and sugar until light.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
-Add vanilla.
-Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk, beating after each addition.
-Drop by teaspoons on to a cookie sheet and back at 350F for 12-15 minutes.
