Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  2. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  3. Scoop the dough out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap. Use the wrap to shape into a log about 10 inches long and 2-3 inches thick. Seal the ends and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  4. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Remove the log of dough from the fridge and unwrap the plastic wrap. Use a sharp knife to slice the dough into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Bake for 13 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Do not overbake.
  7. Cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • You may use any variety of chocolate chip that you prefer. We prefer semi-sweet, but milk chocolate and dark chocolate are both good as well.
  • You can add a pinch of salt or a dash of vanilla extract, if desired, but these are pretty perfect as they are.
  • Use real butter (no margarine here) and the best quality you can find since this recipe has so few ingredients.
