HOW TO DO IT

 

PREHEAT oven to 350°F.

 

COMBINE flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Beat sugar,

butter and vanilla extract in a large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat

in egg. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in 1 cup morsels.

Press enough dough into greased and floured tablespoon to make

slightly rounded. Invert onto ungreased baking sheets. Continue with

remaining dough.

 

BAKE for 10 to 12 minutes or just until golden around edges. Cool on

baking sheets for 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

 

TO COLOR FROSTING:

STIR food coloring into small amounts of frosting until desired

color. For deep colored frosting, use paste colors available in cake

decorating shops.

 

TO PIPE FROSTING:

USE pastry bag fitted with small, plain or fluted tip, heavy-duty

plastic bag with tiny corner snipped off or plastic squeeze bottle

with small tip.

 

TO DECORATE COOKIES:

FROST tops with white or colored frosting. Decorate as desired with

remaining morsels, piped frosting and colored sugars.
