At the downtown Chicago law firm where I work, we often bring in goodies for special occasions, informs Janis Gruca of Mokena, Illinois. When co-workers hear I've baked these melt-in-your-mouth cookies, they make a special trip to my floor to sample them. Best of all, these crisp, buttery treats can be made in no time. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 cup (6 ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
melted semisweet and/or white chocolate, optional |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a microwave; stir in vanilla. Cool completely. In a large bowl, combine flour and confectioners' sugar; stir in butter mixture and chocolate chips (mixture will be crumbly).
2. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly. Bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool on wire racks. Dip or drizzle with chocolate if desired. Yield: about 4 dozen.
