Cut Out Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sorry to all you soft chocolate chip cookie lovers, but this recipe makes crisp cut out chocolate chip cookies. They're perfect for dipping in your morning coffee or hot chocolate.

 Ingredients:

1 cup butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 tbsp vanilla

1 egg, at room temperature

3 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

extra butter if dough is too dry 

 

Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone.

Cream the butter together with both sugars and beat for 2 minutes. Then beat in the vanilla and egg. Mix the flour, salt and baking powder together and add the dry mix to the wet in 3-4 additions. If your dough is crumbly add a teaspoon at a time of extra butter just until it holds together. Fold in the chocolate chips. Divide batter into 4 balls. Then working with one ball at a time, roll out the dough between 2 pieces of wax paper to 1/4" thick. The heart cutter I used here is 2" wide. Place the cut-outs on the lined trays and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will help them keep there shape and not spread out. Bake at 375°F for 8-9 minutes.

Makes 42 - 2" cookies
