- ½ cup butter, softened – zeb-da
- 2 2/3 cups flour – de-‘ee’
- 1 tsp baking powder – ba-king pow-der
- 1 tsp vanilla – va-nil-ya
- 1 cup chocolate chips – ke-ta’cho-ko-la-ta
- 1 ¼ cup sugar – sok-kar
- 2 eggs, beaten – beid
- ½ tsp salt – malh
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 190C.
- Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
- Mix the butter and sugar on medium speed of an electric or mixer until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and mix at low speed for 15 seconds.
- Add the flour mixture gradually and mix at low speed for 1 minute until well blended.
- Pour the dough into a plastic bowl and add chocolate chips. Mix with your hands until the chocolate chips are spread evenly through the dough.
- Butter a cookie sheet.
- Shape the dough into round biscuits of 4 cm in diameter and 2 cm thick. Arrange the biscuits on baking sheet.
- Place the cookie sheet in the middle of the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until biscuits edges turn golden. Do not over-bake; the cookies should not turn brown!
- Take the cookie sheet out of the oven and leave the cookies to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the sheet.
Note
- Use sweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips to taste.
- Instead of ready-made chocolate chips, chop up a chocolate bar into small pieces.
- For added decoration melt ¼ cup of chocolate or caramel and drizzle over cookies.
