This recipe is from my gramma it's dated March 1930. :) been around awhile but really good.

1/3 cup shortening ( lard )
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cuup thick sour cream ( none of that light stuff ) !
1 egg beaten
6 TBSP grated sweet chocolate
1 cup bran
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut and chop it up
1 1/2 cups pastry flour
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Rub the shortening to a cream and work in the sugar slowly. Stir in well beaten sour cream and the egg. Add the chocolate, bran, vanilla and coconut. Add the dry ingredients, sifted together 3 times. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on an oiled baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes.

Eat / Enjoy
