Chocolate Drop Cookies

• 12 cup butter
• 1 cup milk
• 3 12 cups flour
• 1 12 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 baking chocolate squares, melted
• 12 cup vegetable shortening
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 12 cup powdered sugar
• milk

1. Cream shortening, butter and sugar, add eggs and beat, using a hand held mixer.
2. Add melted chocolate, then add in thirds the dry ingredients, milk and flavoring.
3. Drop spoonfuls (I use a regular spoon from the utensil drawer) of batter on cookie sheet and bake at 400 for 8 - 10 minutes.
4. When cookies have cooled, start making the powdered sugar frosting.
5. Begin with powdered sugar, adding about 1 tbl of milk at a time, until it has a consistency of a thin batter.
6. Frost cookies, let the frosting harden (if you can wait that long), and enjoy.
