9 tbsp. butter, softened
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 c. flour
1 1/3 c. chocolate chips

Put soft butter and sugar into a bowl and mix until blended by hand. Beat in eggs until mixed completely. Stir in baking powder, salt and flour until you have a smooth dough. Using a teaspoon, drop lumps of batter onto a greased cookie sheet at least 1 inch apart. Shape into long raccoon tails.

Bake at 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes. Remove cookies. Then melt chocolate chips in microwave or double boiler and make stripes on your "tail". Cool to harden. Then eat!!
