Mema’s Cookies
From the Ackerman Outpost Kitchen ~ December 2008
1 tsp vanilla 1 egg
½ C butter 3 ~ 1 ounce squares unsweetened chocolate (melted)
1 ¾ C flour ½ tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt ¾ C fresh sour cream
1 C brown sugar
1 can milk chocolate frosting
Candy sprinkles
Cream butter & sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in melted chocolate. In a separate bowl, sift dry ingredients together. Add dry ingredients to chocolate mixture alternating with sour cream. Mix well. Drop from teaspoon* on lightly greased cookie sheet (or, line cookie sheet with parchment paper). Bake at 350° for 11 – 14 minutes. Frost with canned frosting and decorate with little sprinkles. Makes 3 to 4 dozen cookies, depending on the teaspoon!
*I use the small scoop from Williams-Sonoma (it looks like an ice cream scoop and the scoop is the size of a melon ball).
Mema was my grandmother (my father’s mom). Her real name was Ann Bond. She brought “Mema’s Cookies” each Christmas! Enjoy! ~ peg ackerman
