1 cup refrigerated holiday cookie dough |
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar |
1-1/4 cups vanilla frosting, divided |
red paste food coloring |
30 miniature semisweet chocolate chips |

Directions:
1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out cookie dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut out 15 ovals, using a 3-in. egg-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
2. Bake at 350° for 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
