Watermelon Cookies
List of Ingredients
3 3/4 cups sifted flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
Red food coloring
1 pkg. chocolate chips
Powdered sugar
1 cup water
Green food coloring Recipe
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.
Makes 7 dozen coookies
