Chocolate Cookies

Last week I was baking chocolate cookies. (the flat, crisp kind).  They just were not baking right and taking such a long time to get done..I finally , on the second pan felt towards the bottom of the oven and realized the lower burner was not heating up..Great... So I finished baking them anyway.  Of course they were different as they had to bake from the top clear through..They tasted fine.. When our youngest son stopped by, he took the unit out and got a new one down at the hardware store...put that in and I was in business again...So, today I baked the same recipe at proper oven  temperature.   The cookies are called Chocolate Sandwich Dreams..I used to put icing  between two of them (sandwich), but don't do that anymore. Mint or vanilla both were good.       1 cup butter    2 cups white ( granulated sugar)     1 teaspoon baking soda    2 teaspoons vanilla     4 Tablespoons buttermilk    1 and 1/2 ounces melted semi-sweet chocolate
1 and 1/2 ounces melted, un-sweetened chocolate     3 cups sifted white flour        Mix.  Roll in walnut sized balls.   Flatten with glass  dipped in flour.  Sprinkle granulated sugar on top.   Bake at 300 degrees F.  approximately 12 minutes.   Put frosting between 2 cookies if desired.
If you bake them a bit less the cookies are not quite as crisp  but good..
So, if you like crisp, thin  chocolate  cookies, you might like to try  this recipe and probably add it to your favorites list.   Great with coffee or tea.
