Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheet.

  2. In a saucepan melt chocolate over low heat. Let cool.

  3. In a small bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt.

  4. In a medium bowl beat margarine on low speed until smooth. Add sugar and beat until creamy. Stir in egg, vanilla and chocolate. Add flour mixture and mix well, forming a stiff dough.
