Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 2 stick(s) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup(s) sugar
  • 3 - large eggs
  • 3 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 package(s) chocolate chips
  • - cinnamon, mixed with sugar for dusting
  • - optional: dash of chili powder or cayenne pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350. Line a half sheet pan (or large cookie sheet) with parchment paper.
  • In a mixer, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time making sure they get incorporated well.
  • Add vanilla and continue to cream.
  • Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides.
  • Add 1 cup of the flour along with the baking powder and salt (here is where you would add chili powder if you want a kick). Continue to mix.
  • Add the remaining 2 cups of flour one at a time to keep the batter light.
  • Finally, add the chocolate chips.
  • Mix until just combined.
  • Dust your work space with flour and divide dough into 3 equal size balls.
  • One at a time, roll the balls into long loaves and place onto cookie sheet.
  • Slightly flatten each loaf until it is the desired shape of the cookies you'd like.
  • Dust each loaf with cinnamon sugar and bake for 20 minutes.
  • At the end of 20 minutes, take them from the oven and slice each loaf into 1/2" pieces.
  • Lie them on their side back on the cookie sheet.
  • Dust again with cinnamon sugar and put them back in the oven until lightly crisp (about 6-7 minutes).
  • Cool slightly. Enjoy with coffee, tea, milk, or whatever you like.
