From the kitchen of Pam Wells, Baskerville, Virginia
What you'll need
- 3 3/4 cups sifted flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 2 eggs
- Red food coloring
- 1 pkg. chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar
- 1 cup water
- Green food coloring
How to make it
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift flour with the baking powder and salt, and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, and slowly mix in dry ingredients until blended. Add red food coloring to the dough.
Cut the cookies out with a round cookie cutter and then cut each one in half. Place a few of the very small chocolate chips on each slice for the seeds.
Bake for 8 or 9 minutes, and after cooling, roll the round edge in an icing of powdered sugar and water with green food coloring. This makes each one look like a slice of watermelon.
