Instructions: * [I think smaller chips, or mini-M&Ms, 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 isnt sticky, so rolling out the balls isnt 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 Ill double the recipe.]

NOTES : "These buttery cookies are light and melt in your mouth." Makes 25 Cookies
