Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 c butter or margarine
1 c brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 squares unswtnd. chocolate — melted (1 oz)
2 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c dairy sour cream
1/2 c fine macaroon crumbs
1/2 c chopped drained maraschino cherries
1 c coarsely chopped fresh mushrooms

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and almond
extract and beat thoroughly. Stir in chocolate. Sift flour, soda and
salt, and add to creamed mixture alternately with the sour cream. Mix
well and add remaining ingredients. Drop from teaspoon at least 2
inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in moderate oven (350)
for 12 minutes or until done. Remove from pan and cool. They will
stay beautifully moist and tender for days.

Note: I don’t care much for candied fruits in my baking, so I omitted
the cherries, and thought the cookies were great, and so did those who
tried them. I was careful, though, not to tell them mushrooms were
the secret ingredient.
