Directions:
In
a medium bowl, cream together shortening, softened butter, brown sugar,
and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla.
Meanwhile in a separate bowl, combine the baking powder, baking soda,
salt, flour, and cocoa powder. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until combined. MIx in the chocolate chips.
Refrigerate
dough for 30-60 minutes, then drop by tablespoonful onto an ungreased
cookie sheet. ( I used my
silicone non-stick baking
m
at
)
Bake at 350 degrees until just set, but centers are still
soft, about 8 minutes. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer
to cooling rack and top each cookie with an unwrapped Candy Cane Kiss.
Allow to cool completely, long enough for the Kiss to solidify again.
Makes 48 cookies.
