Chinese Cookies
These Chinese cookies are like the ones you'll find at the grocery store bakery. They have a chocolate center. You can make your own fudge icing, or buy it premade at the store.
Ingredient
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 ½ cups shortening
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups cake flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup ground walnuts
- 1 cup prepared chocolate fudge frosting
Direction
- Cream together sugar and shortening in a medium bowl. Stir in egg and vanilla, beat until light and fluffy.
- Combine cake flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Dough will be stiff, you may need to use your hands to mix. Roll dough into a log about 15 inches long, and roll in the ground nuts. Wrap and chill dough for at least an hour or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
- Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing to cool completely on wire racks.
- When cool, place a dollop of fudge icing onto the center of each cookie.
