These are nice because they don't require a mixer (I only have a hand mixer). However, it takes a sturdy spoon to ply the dough out of the pot after it's chilled, and your spoon may bend a little (don't use your best spoon). A grapefruit spoon may be helpful. As to letting the dough chill, you can put it in your garage if it's cold enough. I don't have my own garage, so I put it just inside my door to take advantage of the cold window and the slight drafts. I would have put it in the fridge, but that was crammed full of boxes of butter and heads of celery.
My mom got this recipe from a co-worker of hers back in the 70s. One year she gave the recipe to a friend who didn't realize that you have to bake the cookies, and the friend wondered why her cookies didn't turn out like my mom's...
Chocolate Fudge Candy Cookies
In top of double boiler:
Melt 9 oz. chocolate chips (about 1 1/2 cups); 2 T. oleo (margarine) and a pinch of salt.
Add 1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk.
Add 1 c. sifted flour. Mix well.
I put the cover on and let it cool off for awhile in the refrigerator.
Lightly grease cookie sheets. Form mixture into small balls and put on cookie sheets. Place 1 pecan or walnut on top (can also use M&Ms). Bake at 350º for 10-11 min. Makes 50-60.
This is especially good with dark chocolate chips. By the way, we don't use a double boiler for this. We just do it in a regular pot
