Mild Chocolate Recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

1 cup boiling water

4 eggs

3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup shortening

7 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup raisins

1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

In a heavy saucepan, melt butter and sugar together over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in boiling water. Set aside to cool completely.

In the same saucepan, stir together 1 cup flour, 1 cup shortening, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and vanilla. Reduce heat to medium low, just over boiling; stir together. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Whisk in raisins and adjust the sugar and flour mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Drop by rounded spoonfuls about 1/8 inch apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Roll up and seal with tines of fork.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cookies comes out clean.
