for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Microwave for another minute, remove and stir. Continue microwaving and
stirring in 20 second increments until chocolate is completely melted.
3. Add 1 cup of sugar and mix.
4. Mix in 1 egg and 1 tsp of vanilla.
5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt and mix together.
6. Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time until everything is well
combined.
7. Cover bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
8. Heat oven to 375'F.
9. Place dough between two sheets of waxed paper (this makes it easier to roll out).
10. Roll with a rolling pin and cut out out with cookie cutters or a drinking glass (a shot glass actually
makes a really good size for these cookies -- cookie cutting is the only thing we seem to use them for
*laugh*).
11. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
12. Bake 8-10 minutes.
13. While baking, tidy up your work area.
14. Remove from cookie sheets and let cool.
