Tutu's aka Italian Chocolate Cookies image

I was given this recipe many years ago ... back in 1978 from a patient I took care of in Milwaukee. At Christmas her family had brought in huge trays of cookies. On that tray were these and they were my favorite. She gave me the recipe which was written in weight and was huge. I transcribbed the recipe to measurements and made it...

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 c flour
1 1/4 c sugar
2 heaping Tbsp cocoa powder
2 heaping Tbsp cinnamon
2 heaping Tbsp baking powder
1 c plus 2 teaspoons, crisco
6 eggs, beaten
1/4 c milk
1 c semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
1 c chopped walnuts
3 1/2 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla
milk

Steps:

  • 1. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, cinnamon and baking powder. Mix with hands. Add Crisco.
  • 2. Add eggs. Mix well.
  • 3. Add milk. Mix well.
  • 4. Add chocolate chips and walnuts.
  • 5. Make balls about half the size of a walnut.
  • 6. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment.
  • 7. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
  • 8. Cool.
  • 9. Mix glaze. Combine powdered sugar, vanilla and milk to a thin consistency. Dip cookies on glaze and allow to dry.
  • 10. Store in an air tight container or tin.
  • 11. *** NOTE: I have written the recipe exactly as given to me. Years ago I mixed these with my hands! Today I use my food processor to combine the dry ingredients with crisco. Using the pulse button I combine like I do for pie crust. I then place these ingredients in my large kitchen aid mixer bowl. I then mix on low speed until combined.
