Chocolate spritz
submitted by Mrs. T3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, well beaten
1/4 tsp. salt
2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 Tblsp. milk
2 cups sifted cake flour
Multicolored candy sprinkles
Heat oven to 375°.
Work shortening until creamy. Stir in sugar gradually, then beat until
fluffy. Add egg, salt, chocolate, milk, and vanilla, and mix well.
Stir in flour gradually.
Shape dough into balls; roll or dip in candy sprinkles. Place on
ungreased baking sheet and bake 8 to 10 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen.
This was a traditional Christmas favorite when I was growing up. I've given the recipe here as I got it from my mother, but when I make them I change a few things. I use 6 Tblsp. baking cocoa instead of the melted chocolate, and I use 2 cups regular flour instead of cake flour. Easier and cheaper, and I can't tell that they taste any different.
