1/2 c Butter or margarine
1 c Brown sugar
1 Egg
1 ts Vanilla
1/2 ts Almond extract
2 Squares unswtnd. chocolate;
-melted (1 oz)
2 c All purpose flour
1/2 ts Soda
1/4 ts 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.

NOTES : Ok, now, before you all say “Yuck!”, give these cookies a chance.
They have a nice light, moist consistency and are actually very good.
