Equipment
- sheet pan
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 2 cups flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 bag chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line or grease a cookie sheet.
- Beat sugar, salt and butter until smooth. Next, add both eggs and the vanilla, beat again for a minute until dough is smooth. Then add the flour and baking powder and mix until dough is well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. I used my hand to make sure chocolate chips were evenly spread.
- Shape dough into a log, bake for about 25 minutes, being careful that the top doesn't brown.
- Remove from oven and allow it too cool completely. Mine took 45 minutes.
- Make 1/2 inch slices on the log, and place cookies back on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 12 minutes on each side.
Notes
- Chocolate chips can be replaced with dried fruits or nuts.
- Store in a zip top bag or an airtight container.
- Also makes a nice gift for a coffee lover.
