Chocolate Refrigerator/Freezer Cookies

1c. brown sugar
1 egg
1&1/2 squares (1 oz. each square) unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2t. vanilla
1/2c. chopped nuts (optional)
2c. flour
1/2t. baking powder
1/4t. baking soda
1/4t. salt
3T. sour milk
may add chocolate, peanut butter, butterscotch, or toffee chips to dough

Thoroughly cream shortening and sugar; add egg and mix well.  Add chocolate and vanilla; mix well.  Sift dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt); add to creamed mixture alternately with sour milk.  Stir in nuts, if desired.  Shape into long rolls of dough.  Wrap rolls in waxed paper of plastic wrap; chill thoroughly or freeze (easier to slice when frozen).  Slice thin, and bake on greased cookie sheet at 400℉ for about 10 min.  Makes 4 dozen.
