Chocolate Sugar Cookies

My Grandmother made the best Sugar cookies ever! I loved her sugar cookies. She has been dead now for nearly 30 years and I can still remember the smell in the kitchen when she baked. She was one of those exceptional cooks. She only knew the country way of cooking. She raised a large family of 15 kids so she had to cook.

I have never enjoyed sugar cookies since she died. However, this recipe may have just changed my mind. These are easy enough for the kids to make. I used semi sweets instead of the baking chocolate.

Chocolate Sugar Cookies

1/4 c. butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
2 squares baking chocolate; melted
powdered sugar

Beat together butter and sugar. Add eggs. Stir in flour and baking
powder. Mix well. Stir in vanilla and chocolate. Put in Fridge for about 1/2 hour then  Roll into small balls &  coat with powdered sugar. Bake at 350 for 8  to  10 minutes.

This recipe will make about 2 to 3 dozen of the best sugar cookies you have ever eaten (except my Grandma's).
