    Roll dough into 1" balls, place about 2" apart on prepared cookie sheets. Using a fork- moistened and dipped in sugar- flatten each cookie and press criss cross pattern into top.

    Place chocolate chips and shortening in small plastic or glass bowl, and melt in microwave. Dip each cookie in chocolate. I only coat 1/2 of the cookie, makes a pretty presentation! Allow chocolate to firm and serve or store in air-tight container.
