This wonderful cookie recipe is one that I am begged to make over the holidays every year! They are out of a really, really old McCall's cookbook that my mother used to use. I took them to work last year, and everyone started calling me Julia Child! They are well worth the effort!
09Meanwhile, make the filling (I am told that one can easily melt chocolate chips in a microwave, but I have not tried it. If you know how to do it, have at it!) Melt chocolate over hot (NOT BOILING) water, add butter.
10Cool.
11Divide dough in half.
12Roll each half into a 8x10 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
13Spread each with half the filling.
14From the long side, roll each rectangle tightly like a jelly roll.
15Gently press edge to seal.
16Wrap separately, seam side down, in saran wrap or foil.
17Refrigerate until firm, about 8 hours or overnight before slicing and baking.
18(They will keep in the fridge for a little over a week.) Preheat oven to 375, and place 1/2 inch slices 1 1/2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
19Bake 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
20Let cool for a few minutes on sheet, then cool on wire rack.
