So here is one for the sugar-free folks. I myself like sugar but my stepmom is diabetic so this one is for her.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup shortening
• 3 tablespoons sugar substitute with
• aspartame (such as Equal packets)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons skim milk
• 1 1/4 cups cake flour
• 1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate, melted

DIRECTIONS:

Cream shortening. Add sugar substitute, egg, vanilla and milk and blend well. Add half the flour, mix well and stir in chocolate and the rest of the flour. With cookie press, press onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Use hands and make small ball if you do not have press. Putting flour on your hands, this keeps dough from sticking. Press down with fingers on top of each cookie.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes.
