This recipe looks interesting, but I've never tried it:
Date: Thu, 19 May 1994 12:46:11 LCL
From: aroesteg
Subject: RCP: No-bake chocolate crescents
I*knew*there was a reason I kept this torn magazine page in
my desk....While not exactly cookies, this award-winning
no-bake candy with only three ingedients sort of *looks*
like cookies.... no big whoop. (Beth may win a
prize for her novel recipe some day, too.)
Creamy Chocolate Crescents
2 8-ounce bars milk chocolate
1 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed
2/3 cup finely crushed vanilla wafers
In a heavy 2-qt. saucepan melt chocolate bars over low heat,
stirring often; cool to room temperature. Fold in dessert
topping. Mixture will thicken. Cover and chill at least 1
hour. Form into 1-inch balls or crescent shapes. Roll in
crumbs. Chill Thoroughly. Makes about 66.
**Microwave directions: Break chocolate bars into small
squares in 2-qt. microwave safe casserole. Micro-cook,
uncovered, on 100% power for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring once.
Stir till smooth. Continue as directed.
**When I make this, I'm going to use white chocolate bars.
Enjoy!

each ball. Spoon a heaping teaspoon
frosting over the top of each cherry, spreading to cover the cherry and most
of the top of the cookie. Bake at 350

1 c Flour
1 lb Shortening
Blend dry ingredients. Add milk and egg and beat until smooth like heavy

until 2/3 covered. Immerse in hot fat and fry until delicatley brown.
Remove; tip upside down to drain. Push off rosette and drain on paper
towels. Stir batter each time before dipping iron. Repeat. If iron is too
cool, batter will slip off. Dust with powdered sugar and store airtight, in
single layers seperated by wax paper. Best if served within a day or two
(if they last as long as 2 days!).

This recipe looks interesting, but I've never tried it:
Date: Thu, 19 May 1994 12:46:11 LCL
From: aroesteg
Subject: RCP: No-bake chocolate crescents
I*knew*there was a reason I kept this torn magazine page in
my desk....While not exactly cookies, this award-winning
no-bake candy with only three ingedients sort of *looks*
like cookies.... no big whoop. (Beth may win a
prize for her novel recipe some day, too.)
Creamy Chocolate Crescents
2 8-ounce bars milk chocolate
1 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed
2/3 cup finely crushed vanilla wafers
In a heavy 2-qt. saucepan melt chocolate bars over low heat,
stirring often; cool to room temperature. Fold in dessert
topping. Mixture will thicken. Cover and chill at least 1
hour. Form into 1-inch balls or crescent shapes. Roll in
crumbs. Chill Thoroughly. Makes about 66.
**Microwave directions: Break chocolate bars into small
squares in 2-qt. microwave safe casserole. Micro-cook,
uncovered, on 100% power for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring once.
Stir till smooth. Continue as directed.
**When I make this, I'm going to use white chocolate bars.
Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE SHORTBREAD LOGS
Barbara Love
Sperreng Middle School
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (6-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine flour, butter, sugar and vanilla. Blend thoroughly.
Using a rounded teaspoon of dough for each cookie, shape with hands into
2-inch logs. (To make
shaping easier, you can coat each piece of dough very lightly with powdered
sugar.) Place 1/2 inch apart
on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. They should be barely golden brown on the bottom.
Carefully remove cookies to a wire rack. Hot cookies are very fragile. Let
cool thoroughly.
Heat chocolate chips and shortening together in the microwave on a low power
level until just melted.
Stir to combine.
Dip ends of each cooled cookie into chocolate. Place on a cookie sheet lined
with waxed paper.
Sprinkle walnuts over ends. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
Yield: 6 dozen.
Tester's note: Elegant, rich and delicious. Freeze these by the dozens for
unexpected guests.
