Chocolate Chip Roll-Out Cookies
Ingredients (2-3 dozen cookies)
* 1 cup slightly softened butter
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
* 2 eggs
* 2 teaspoons vanilla
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
* 4 (or 4 1/2 cups) flour
* 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
Cream the butter and both sugars together. If you have any brown sugar lumps, you should crush them up or pull them out.
Add the eggs and the vanilla and mix thoroughly.
Add the salt and baking powder and mix again.
Add 4 cups of flour and mix well. Stop here if you are going to chill the dough, or just wait for another day to bake it. If you are going to roll it out right away, add another half of a cup of flour and mix again.
Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Roll out dough and cut shapes as desired.
Bake at 350F. If you roll to 3/16" thick, bake for about 7 minutes. If you roll to 1/4" thick, bake for about 10 minutes.
