Ingredients
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- 3/4 cup (1½ sticks) butter, (at room temperature)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour, ((measure, then sift))
- milk
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or almonds ((optional))
- powdered sugar, (to dust on top)
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and shortening. Stir until combined, and set aside to cool slightly. (NOTE: if you do not have a double boiler, simply set a glass or metal bowl on top of a pot of simmering water, and melt/combine the ingredients this way).
-
In large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, sugar, vanilla and salt. Blend in flour and mix well. Add a few drops of milk to help the batter hold together. It should come together as a blob of dough (not sticky though).
-
Divide the dough into thirds. Roll out each on a floured surface to a 10x6-inch rectangle. Spread each with chocolate filling; sprinkle with nuts if desired. Roll up, starting with the 10-inch side. Carefully transfer the roll to an ungreased cookie sheet. The best way to do this is to use a wide metal spatula to help you. It's a little tricky, but if you are careful, they won't fall apart!
-
Bake the cookie logs 20 to 25 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cool and wrap in saran wrap.
-
To serve, cut into slices about 1/4-inch thick. These can be frozen in the whole rolls, then defrosted and sliced later.
