*This recipe has been a RecipeGirl family favorite for over 40 years. BAKE & SLICE CHOCOLATE SWIRLS www.RecipeGirl.com 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ½ cup sweetened condensed milk 1 Tbs shortening ¾ cup butter, softened ½ tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla extract ¾ cup brown sugar, firmly packed 2 cups flour, sifted milk ¾ cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional) 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. In top of double boiler, melt chocolate, sweetened milk and shortening. Set aside and cool slightly. 3. In large bowl, cream together butter, salt, vanilla and sugar. Blend in flour and mix well. Add a few drops of milk to help the batter hold together. 4. Divide dough into thirds. Roll out each on floured surface to a 10x6" rectangle. Spread each with chocolate filling; sprinkle with nuts if desired. 5. Roll up, starting with the 10" side. Carefully transfer the roll to an ungreased cookie sheet. 6. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cool and wrap in saran wrap. 7. To serve, cut into slices about ¼" thick. These can be frozen in the whole rolls, then defrosted and sliced later. Yield: 6 dozen sliced cookies Recipe Source: Adapted from an old Pillsbury cookbook Cooking Tips *When finished mixing the dough, try placing it inside a large ziploc baggie and kneading it together to get it nice and held together and ready to roll out. **For a floured surface, try using a flour sack dish towel. This will make it easier to roll as you can lift up the towel and easily help guide the rolling. PRINT THIS RECIPE using your browser's 'print' function.
