Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup butter
½ cup shortening
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 drops red food coloring
⅓ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water
3 drops green food coloring

Steps:

  • Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small mixing bowl.
  • Beat butter and shortening with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Stir in egg, milk, and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture, mixing well. Add a small amount of red food coloring to color dough as desired, beating until blended. Shape dough into a ball; cover and chill at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Divide dough in half; store one portion in refrigerator. Roll remaining portion to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough with a 3-inch round cookie cutter; cut circle in half. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press several chocolate mini chocolate chips in each cookie. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes (do not brown). Cool on wire racks.
  • Make frosting: Combine powdered sugar and water, mixing until smooth. Add a small amount of green food coloring, mixing until blended. Dip round edge of each cookie in green frosting, and place cookie on wax paper until frosting is firm.
