       Melt the butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Combine
   with egg and rest of ingredients. Drop by scant teaspoonfuls on greased
   cookie sheets. The finished cookies will be 3 to 4 inches in diameter so
   space them accordingly. Bake in preheated oven of 325~ for about 12
   minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.  When nearly cool, remove from
   the cookie sheet with spatuala. (I use the metal type.
        Hint-press under the cookie with pressure against the sheet and they
   remove easily without crumbling)   Place on racks to cool completely.
