  • 2 cups white flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
