Step by Step Method
Step 1
Melt the shortening and chocolate in a bowl over hot water; cool slightly.
Step 2
Take off heat and with an electric mixer, blend in the white sugar; beat in eggs, one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each additon and then add the vanilla.
Step 3
Add flour, baking powder, and salt and mix well; chill for 15 minutes as the dough will be very soft.
Step 4
Put the confectioner sugar in a shallow bowl so you can roll each ball in it.
Step 5
Roll dough into balls the size of a walnut and roll in the confectioners sugar; bake at 300 degrees for 12-15 minutes---they should be soft to the touch in oven when you take them out as they want to be soft and chewy when done.
