CHOCOLATE CREAM DROP COOKIES

MAKES APPROXIMATELY 5 DOZEN

These chocolate cookies are so good. Once you try them, you will be hooked. Be very careful, as with all cookies, not to overbake. They should be relatively soft, part of what gives them a creamy texture.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup shortening

1 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened

1-1/2 cups sugar

1 egg, well beaten

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted

2-1/4 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350° F. Thoroughly cream together the butter, shortening, cream cheese and sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir in cooled chocolate. Sift together the flour and salt. Add to batter; blend well. Stir in nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto greased cookie sheets. Bake approximately 10 minutes.
