- 1 Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl until well mixed.
- 2 Beat shortening and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Stir in egg, milk, and vanilla until well combined. Add flour mixture, a little bit at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add red food coloring, beating until blended and reaches desired color. Shape dough into a ball; cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
- 3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 4 Divide dough in half; store 1 portion in the refrigerator. Roll remaining 1 portion on a lightly floured surface to a ¼-inch thickness. Cut dough using a 3-inch round cookie cutter; cut dough circle in half. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press several mini chocolate chips in each cookie. Repeat with remaining dough.
- 5 Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes; do not brown. Cool cookies completely on wire racks.
- 6 Combine confectioners' sugar and water in a medium bowl until smooth. Add green food coloring; mix until blended and reaches desired color. Dip round edge of each cookie in green icing. Place dipped cookie on wax paper until icing is firm.
