For chocolate cookies:  Stir in 3 ounces melted, unsweetened chocolate.  Divide dough into 2 balls.  On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter and ⅛ in thick.  Dip cutters in flour before each use.  Bake cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet on top rack of oven to 6 – 7 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned.   Makes 20 -24 average size cookies.
