Triple-Chocolate Cookies

Source: Cooking at a Glance - Cookies   
Active Time:  10 Minutes
Total Time:  20 Minutes     Makes about 48 cookies

Three different kinds of chocolate in one great cookie! They’ll have a more intense flavor if you use the best-quality chocolate you can find. Candy stores or gourmet food shops usually have a good selection.

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
8 ounces semisweet chocolate or white baking bar, broken into chunks, or one 10-ounce package white baking pieces

In a large mixing bowl beat the shortening and butter or margarine with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and baking soda; beat till combined. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and melted chocolate. Beat in the cocoa powder and as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Stir in the semisweet chocolate, white baking bar, or white baking pieces.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or till tops look dry. Cool on cookie sheets for 1 minute; remove cookies and cool on wire racks.

Add sugar to dissolve. Let cool (I put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes--worked just fine to cool it down).  Once it is cool, add the olive oil, balsamic glaze (optional), and dressing mix.  Shake well and refrigerate for about an hour before serving. Gail's Notes:  This is my version of Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing that I just made and it is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! It is based on a recipe found here .  Note that I cut the ingredients in half (from the original recipe) because I wanted to make sure it tastes as good as it looks and man, it really does taste like Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing!  I will definitely keep this recipe handy (as I use Zia's dressing f
