Chocolate Snappers

Chocolate Snappers

Sam made these today. This is a recipe that he makes better than I do. I did test a few to make sure that it is still true. The house has the heavenly fragrance of warm chocolate cinnamon. This recipe came from Baking Diva Barb’s high school friend Patty Moore and has been a family favorite since she got it in the 1970s.

1 ¾ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
¼ cup corn syrup
½ cup cocoa

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix all the ingredients together. Make into tablespoon-sized balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet (I recommend that you use baking parchment) and bake for 15 minutes. Allow to stand on baking sheet a few minutes before you move them off to a cooling rack. Makes 3 dozen cookies. This recipe doubles well.
