Chocolate Chip Holiday Tea Cakes

I wanted to do a wine themed cookie but then I came across these Chocolate Chip Holiday Tea Cakes and just knew they would be perfect for the party! Chocolate and wine what could be better?

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup finely chopped nuts
• 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels, divided
• PREHEAT oven to 350° F.
  BEAT butter and powdered sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in vanilla extract. Gradually beat in flour and nuts. 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 for 2 minutes on baking sheets; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
  MICROWAVE remaining morsels in heavy-duty plastic bag on HIGH (100%) power for 30 to 45 seconds; knead. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, kneading until smooth. Cut tiny corner from bag; squeeze to drizzle over cookies. Refrigerate cookies for about 5 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store at room temperature in airtight containers.
