The home economists in our Test Kitchen came up with this recipe for cookies that are as pretty as they are tasty.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon shortening

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar. Beat in vanilla; mix well. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
  2. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly with a glass dipped in sugar.
  3. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool.
  4. For drizzle, in a heavy saucepan or microwave, melt the chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Remove from the heat. Drizzle over cookies.
