Makes About 4 Dozen Cookies
Cookies
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium sized
bowl. Set aside. Beat butter or margarine, sugar, eggs, vanilla,
and red food coloring in a large bowl with electric mixer until
fluffy. Gradually add flour mixture and stir with wooden spoon until
thoroughly mixed. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill in the
refrigerator for two hours.
Preheat oven to 400° F. On a lightly floured surface, roll
out dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles with a cookie cutter
or other round object, such as a glass or round plastic container.
Place circles on ungreased cookie sheet. With a butter knife, carefully
slice circle in half and separate by at least 1/2 inch to allow
for expansion during baking. Gently press miniature semi sweet morsels
into each semicircle. Bake for 6-8 minutes, checking after 6 minutes.
Cookies will be done when edges are lightly browned. Do not allow
cookies to get too brown.
Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on cookie sheets for
5 minutes. Remove from cookies sheets to a wire rack and allow to
cool completely.
Glaze
In a small bowl mix together all ingredients to form a glaze.
You may add drops of water to thin glaze if it is too thick. To
decorate the cookies, roll the round end of the cookie in the glaze,
allow excess to drip off into bowl. Place cookies back on rack until
glaze dries.
