Description

Dark and moist cookies with walnuts and molasses. These are especially rich and chocolaty.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside.
2 In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, buttermilk, molasses and vanilla one at a time. Gently mix in the sifted ingredients just until blended, but no more than necessary. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
3 Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm to the touch. Cool for a few minutes on cookie sheets before removing to cool on wire racks.
