Watermelon slice sugar cookies!
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.33300000429153 cup butter
  • 0.5 cup shortening
  • 0.75 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 3 drops red food coloring
  • 0.33000001311302 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1.5 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 drops green food coloring
Instructions:
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter and shortening until fluffy. Gradually add sugar and beat well. Stir in egg, milk, and vanilla. Mix in flour mixture until well combined. Add red food coloring to desired color and mix well. Shape dough into a ball, cover, and chill for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Divide the dough in half and chill one portion. Roll out the other half on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles, then cut each circle in half. Arrange on a baking sheet and press several mini chocolate chips into each cookie. Repeat with the chilled dough.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until just set. Allow to cool on wire racks.
  • Prepare the frosting by blending powdered sugar and water until smooth. Stir in a touch of green food coloring until well mixed. Coat the rounded edge of each cookie with the green frosting and place them on wax paper until the frosting sets.
