In top of double boiler over hot water melt white chocolate. Remove from heat. In large bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in egg, vanilla and melted white chocolate. In medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture. Wrap and refrigerate dough 2 to 3 hours. Preheat oven to 350°F. Working with half the dough at a time on lightly floured surface, roll to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 3×5-inch rectangles; cut off 2 corners from one short side. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Using drinking straw, cut out small hole from tapered end of rectangle. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets; cool completely on wire racks. Prepare Decorator’s Icing; spread over cookies. Write names on cookies using "M&M's"® Chocolate Mini Baking Bits. Place one piece licorice through hole and tie. Store in tightly covered container.
