1 c Butter
1 c Powdered Sugar
1/4 ts Salt
1 ts Vanilla
2 1/4 c Flour
6 oz Semisweet Chocolate Chips; *
-see note
Powdered Sugar
* [I think smaller chips, or mini-M&M’s, would be better, but regular will
work]
Cream butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until well blended. Gradually add
salt, vanilla and flour (mixture will be stiff). Stir in chocolate pieces.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten balls
with fork. Bake at 350 F for 12 to 15 minutes until set but not brown.
While hot, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Remove to wire racks to cool.

[I made these cookies, and found them very easy. The dough isn’t sticky, so
rolling out the balls isn’t a chore. They were a big hit when I brought
them to the club; they went quickly. The batch made two cookie-sheets full.
Next time I think I’ll double the recipe.]
