Chocolate Dipped Divinity Cookies image

My youngest daughter just loves these cookies. Only when I make them for her I add some chopped pecans and omit the chocolate dipping. Either way they are good cookies!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 c shortening like crisco (do not use butter)
1 1/2 c sifted powdered sugar
4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 c chopped nuts (optional)
chocolate a'peels or chocolate almond bark

Steps:

  • 1. preheat oven to 350 and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. In large mixing bowl combine shortening and powdered sugar and blend well. Add vanilla and salt than the flour. You don't need to chill the dough first but I do.
  • 3. Roll out dough to about 3/8 of an inch thick and cut with a round cookie cutter. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes just until the edge turns a light color. Let cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
  • 4. When you have baked all your cookies melt the chocolate a'peels or almond bark over a double boiler and dip half of each cookie into chocolate, and let dry on parchment. Store cookies in airtight container.
  • 5. For variation you can reduce the flour to 3 1/3 cups and 2/3 cup of cocoa powder to make chocolate divinity cookies. I also sometimes add mini chocolate chips as well. A fun batter to work with. I make it ahead and store it in my fridge. Happy Baking!
