Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Makes about 403 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
additional sugar
Microwave chocolate and margarine in large microwavable bowl on high 2 minutes or until margarine is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Stir 1 cup sugar into melted chocolate mixture until well blended. Stir in egg and vanilla until completely blended. Mix in flour, baking soda and salt. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Heat oven to 375 F. Shape dough into 1" balls; roll in additional sugar.
Alternately, roll out to 1/4" thick and cut with cookie cutters. Place, 2" apart, on ungreased cookie sheets. (If flatter, crisper cookies
are desired, flatten balls with bottom of drinking glass.) Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire
racks. Decorate with icing and sprinkles, if desired.

Would make this again.
Based on the Dec 22 review, and the consistency of the dough (after its time in the fridge), I followed the flatten cookie step before dipping them in sugar. This turned out to be a good move because they did not spread like I am used to with other drop cookies. My end result was a nice, soft cake like cookie.
I taste plenty of chocolate, though my expectations of chocolaty from a cookie may be different then others.
It took more time then I expected, but the end result was great.

These were ok, but not as chocolatey or soft as I hoped they would be. Also, either I messed up or the recipe wasn't clear - my cookies didn't really spread at all. They went from being balls to slightly flattened balls - not disc-shaped at all.

Very good, though a bit dry. I was also hoping they would taste a bit more like chocolate, I think I might try other types of chocolate.
Still well worth making, thanks for sharing!
