Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Melt the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler. Let cool slightly. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate until well combined. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. (10-12 minutes)

09

Step

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For sour milk, simply add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes before using.
For an even richer chocolate flavor, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the dough.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
