Preparation

Step 1

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy with an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Increase speed to high and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a 9 x 2 1/2 inch wide rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. For easier slicing, place the pieces of dough in the freezer for 15 minutes before using.

TIP: Chocolate melting wafers are great not only for decorating cookies, but for dipping with fruit as the chocolate hardens as it cools. You can find then in the produce section, usually near the strawberries, or in the baking section
