First place winner in the Chicago Tribune's 1996 Annual Holiday Cookie
Contest. Kimberly H. McGuire of Oak Park, Illinois entered her
grandmother's chocolate shot cookie recipe. 1. Beat butter in large bowl of
electric mixer at high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar and
vanilla; beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Grandually beat in
flour and baking soda until smooth. Stir in oats. Refrigerate dough in
mixer bowl 10 minutes for easier handling. 2. Remove dough from
refrigerator. Divide dough into 2 to 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a
log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Pour sprinkles into pie plate; roll
logs in sprinkles to coat evenly. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate
overnight. 3. Heat oven to 325'F. Cut dough into 1/4-inch slices. Bake on
greased baking sheet until lightly browned and slightly firm to the touch,
about 20 minutes. Remove to cooling rack. Source: Chicago Tribune, December
