Very Rich, Very Thin Chocolate Lace Cookies

1/4 lb Butter-1 stick

2 Chocolate-unsweetened

Egg-slightly beaten 1/4 ts Salt

1/2 ts Vanilla

1/2 ts Baking powder

1/2 c Flour

1 1/2 c Sugar

Melt the butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler.
Combine with egg and rest of ingredients.
Drop by scant
teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheets.
The finished cookies will be
3 to 4 inches in diameter so space them accordingly.
Bake in
preheated oven of 325~ for about 12 minutes.
Watch carefully to
prevent burning.
When nearly cool, remove from the cookie sheet
with spatuala.
(I use the metal type.Hint-press under the cookie
with pressure against the sheet and they remove easily without
crumbling) Place on racks to cool completely.
