CHOCOLATE RIBBON
COOKIES
(Yield: 6 dozen)
1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1½ cups sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2½ cups self-rising flour
Grease a 9x95-inch loaf pan; line with waxed paper.
In a double boiler, over hot water, melt chocolate morsels.
Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Gradually blend in flour. Place
one-third of the dough into a small bowl. Add melted chocolate to
remaining dough, blending thoroughly. Divide chocolate dough in half.
Press one half into the prepared loaf pan; press plain dough over the top,
then press the remaining chocolate dough over the top. Place waxed
paper over the top of the dough. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Remove the dough from the pan; cut in half lengthwise. Slice
each half into ¼-inch slices. Place on UNGREASED cookie sheets.
Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until delicately browned. Remove from
cookie sheets; cool on a wire rack.
