Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, melted, cooled
1 3/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons hot water

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F. Grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray.
In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, 1/2 cup butter, the buttermilk, vanilla, egg and 2 ounces melted chocolate with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.
On cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in center. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
In 2-quart saucepan, melt 2 ounces chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter over low heat, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and hot water until smooth. (If frosting is too thick, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time. If frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Spread over cookies.
