CHOCOLATE CREAM DROPS
From Betty Crocker's 1958 "Dinner for Two" cookbook, chocolate cookies that seem a bit different than other chocolate cookie recipes I've tried. Update: The texture of these is much more like a cake than a cookie or a brownie. To make them more cooking like, I'd recommend using butter instead of shortening and full fat sour cream. Also I've updated to add an icing recipe which really makes these stand out.

Steps:
- Position racks in the lower and upper third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. (If you don't have 3 pans, simply cool the pan between batches.)
- Put the butter and the unsweetened and semisweet chocolates in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 75 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir and heat again until melted, up to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, put the chocolates and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
- Stir the light brown and granulated sugars and vanilla into the chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and buttermilk and beat vigorously until thick and glossy.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, cinnamon and salt together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just mixed. Stir in chocolate chunks and dried cherries, if using.
- Drop the batter in heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets--a small ice cream scoop is ideal for this. Space the cookies about 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies set but are soft and fudgy on the inside, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Serve.
- Store cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to a week.

Tips:
- Use a double boiler or bain-marie to melt the chocolate. This will help to prevent the chocolate from burning or seizing.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it on low power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted.
- Stir in the oil gradually. This will help to prevent the chocolate from becoming too thick.
- If you want to make chocolate drops with a different flavor, you can add a few drops of flavoring oil, such as peppermint or orange, to the melted chocolate.
- You can use chocolate drops in a variety of desserts, such as cookies, cakes, and pies. You can also use them to make chocolate milk or hot chocolate.
Conclusion:
Chocolate drops are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts. They are easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, try making your own chocolate drops.
