Chocolate stars are the sweet surprise inside tender, bite-sized cookies coated with powdered sugar.
Ingredient List
Cookies
- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 48 milk chocolate stars (from 14-oz bag)
Sugar Coating
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon red sugar
- 1 tablespoon green sugar
Preparation
- Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, beat butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and the vanilla with electric mixture on medium speed until well mixed. On low speed, beat in flour, salt and walnuts.
- For each cookie, shape scant measuring tablespoonfuls dough around chocolate star to make 1-inch ball; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set and bottoms begin to turn golden brown. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix sugar coating ingredients.
- Immediately remove cookies from cookie sheets; roll in sugar coating. Cool completely on cooling racks, about 30 minutes. Roll in sugar coating again.
Tips
- For cookies with more dazzle, use coarse red and green sparkling sugars instead of the colored granulated sugars.
- Chopped pecans can be used instead of the walnuts.
