Recipe - Butter-Chip Cookies

1 cup Butter
1 cup Powdered Sugar
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 One fourth cup Flour
6 ounce Semisweet Chocolate Chips; *
see note
Powdered Sugar

* [I think smaller chips, or miniM&M's, would be better, but regular will
work]

Cream butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until well blended. Gradually add
salt, vanilla and flour (mixture will be stiff). Stir in chocolate pieces.

Roll into 1inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten balls
with fork. Bake at 350 F for 12 to 15 minutes until set but not brown.
While hot, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Remove to wire racks to cool.

[I made these cookies, and found them very easy. The dough isn't sticky, so
rolling out the balls isn't a chore. They were a big hit when I brought
them to the club; they went quickly. The batch made two cookiesheets full.
Next time I think I'll double the recipe.]
