1 tb Vanilla
1 Egg
1 3/4 c All-purpose flour
3/4 ts Salt
3/4 ts Baking soda

1. Pre-heat oven to 375F (190C). Place sheets of foil on

just until blended.
3. Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Add to creamed
mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended.
4. Form dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Place 2 inches

5. Bake one baking sheet at a time at 375F (190C) for 7

NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove
cookies to foil to cool completely.
6. For icing, place chocolate chips and shortening in
microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl. Microwave at 50%
(MEDIUM) power for 2 to 3 minutes or until chips are shiny
