1 c  Butter
     1 c  Powdered Sugar
   1/4 ts Salt
     1 ts Vanilla
 2 1/4 c  Flour
     6 oz Semisweet Chocolate Chips; *
          -see note
          Powdered Sugar
 * [I think smaller chips, or mini-M&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 1-inch 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 cookie-sheets full.
 Next time I think I’ll double the recipe.]
