1 Heat oven to 400°F. Grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray.
2 In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, 1/2 cup butter, the buttermilk, vanilla, egg and 2 ounces melted chocolate with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.
3 On cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.

These are a family favorite. I add semi- sweet chocolate chips and that makes a big difference. I agree with the other reviews and can see how the batter be too sticky.
