Watermelon Wedges

Source of Recipe


My own recipe, I use either home made sugar cookie dough or Pilsbury packaged refrigerated dough






List of Ingredients



• 3 3/4 C All purpose flour
  
• 1 t Baking powder
  
• 1/2 t Salt
  
• 1 C Real butter (do not use margarine), softened
  
• 1 1/2 C Sugar
  
• 2 Eggs
  
• 2 t Real vanilla extract (not just flavored)
  
• 6 Drops red food coloring
  
• 1 C Miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
  
• GLAZE:
  
• 1 1/2 C powdered sugar, sifted
  
• 2 T water
  
• 15-20 drops green food coloring
  






Instructions



1. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together ina bowl, set aside.
   
   
2. Beat butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and red food coloring in a bowl with electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add the flour mixture and stir with wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill for two hours.
   
   
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4" thick. Cut our circles with a cookie cutter or other round object. Place circles on ungreased cookie sheet. With a butter knife carefully slice each circle in half and separate by at least 1/2" to allow for expansion during baking. Gently press mini semi-sweet chips into each semi-circle.
   
   
4. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Cookies will be done when edges are lightly browned. Do not allow cookies to get too brown. Remove and allow cookies to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets to a cooling rack to cool completely.
   
   
5. GLAZE:
   
   
6. In a bowl combine all ingredients to form a glaze. You may add drops of water to thin the glaze if it is too thick.
   
   
7. To decorate cookies, roll the round edge of the cookie on the glaze. Allow excess to drip off into the bowl. Place cookies back on foil until glaze dries.
