Category: Cookies

1 cup butter
1/2 cup sifted confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2/3 cup finely chopped nuts
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

Preheat oven to 350. Beat butter and sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in
vanilla extract. Gradually beat in flour, nuts and cinnamon. Stir in 1 1/2 cups morsels. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until set and light golden brown on bottom. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Microwave remaining morsels in heavy-duty plastic bag on HIGH (100%) power for 30 seconds; knead. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, kneading until smooth. Cut tiny corner from bag; squeeze to drizzle over cookies. Chill cookies for about 5 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store at room temperature in airtight containers.
