Chocolate Refrigerator Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In sauce pan melt margarine. Add sugar, cocoa, and milk. Stir over medium high heat until it drops a soft ball. Do not over cook this or cookies will crystalize. Undercooking will make the cookies runny.
• 2. Remove from heat and add rest of ingredients. Spoon onto cookie sheet covered with wax paper, rice paper, or silpat. Refrigerate.
• 3. Note: Do not use quick oatmeal. It makes the cookies mushy. Refrigerate while still warm to avoid crystallization of chocolate. This cookie is not for the faint of heart. The chocolate is easy to under or over cook.
• 4. Dropping a soft ball: have a glass of cold water handy while you stir the chocolate mixture. As it gets close to being done, begin drizzling small amounts of chocolate into the glass. As soon as the chocolate begins to ball up as it sinks in the water you have reached soft ball or soft crack. Take the pot off the heat immediately.
