Chocolate - Tipped Butter Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, melted
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts ( optional )

Beat the butter at medium speed until smooth ; gradually add the sugar, beating
until fluffy. Stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour.
Dough shouldn't be too sticky, if it is, add a little more flour.

Shape dough into 2 1/2"x1/2" sticks. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
Flatten two-thirds of each cookie with the tines of a fork ( dipped in
powdered sugar to prevent sticking ) to a 1/4" thickness.

Bake cookies at 350 F. for 12-14 minutes or until cookies are light brown
around the edges. Remove cookies from sheets to wire racks ot cool completely.
Dip cooled cookies ( smooth end ) in the melted chocolate, then in the chopped
nuts if using. Place dipped cookies on waxed paper till set.
