These chocolate-striped cookies will sweeten your day!

What You Need

• 4 tablespoons soft butter
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch of salt
• ⅔ cup chocolate chips

What You Do

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Combine the butter, sugar, and egg in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy.
3. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix with a large spoon until a smooth dough forms.
4. Scoop out a tablespoon of dough and drop it onto a greased cookie sheet (or one covered with parchment paper). Continue scooping and dropping lumps of dough a few inches apart on the cookie sheet.
5. Coat your fingers with flour to form each lump into a tail-shaped cookie.
6. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies have turned a light golden brown.
7. Once the cookies have cooled completely, ask an adult to help you melt the chocolate chips.
8. Dip the edge of a small spoon into the melted chocolate, then drizzle it across each cookie to make the stripes.
9. Put the cookies in a cool place until the chocolate stripes have hardened.
