Preparation

Step 1

Combine powdered sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour, cream of tartar and baking soda. Beat until well mixed. Divide dough into fourths. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour.

Heat oven to 375°F. Roll each fourth (keeping remaining dough refrigerated) into 4 (10-inch) ropes. Cut each rope into 4 (2 1/2-inch) pieces. Shape each piece into crescent. Place onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cookies do not brown. Cool completely.

Combine chocolate chips and shortening in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH (100% power) until melted (1 to 2 minutes). Dip half of each cookie into chocolate; immediately prinkle with chopped pecans, if desired. Let stand until set.

Variations:
• Roll cooled cookies in powdered sugar.

• Dip cooled cookies in melted (almond bark) vanilla candy coating; sprinkle with decorator candies. Nutrition Facts (1 cookie)Calories: 90Fat: 5gCholesterol: 10mgSodium: 50mgCarbohydrates: 10gDietary Fiber: 0gProtein: 1g
