Originally from Betty Crocker's Best Cookies.
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 ½ tablespoon vanilla
Food coloring
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
Chocolate chips
Mix butter, sugar, vanilla, and food coloring. Blend flour and salt thoroughly until dough forms a ball. If dough is too dry to hold together, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cream (Half&Half).
Preheat oven to 350° For each cookie, pinch off about a tablespoon of dough. Flatten and make an indentation with your thumb. Place 5-6 chocolate chips in the depression, and then wrap the rest of the dough around them to make a ball.
Bake 1" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet or baking stone for 12-15 minutes. Cool.
