64
ingredients
- 1 lb butter or 1 lb margarine, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 1⁄2 - 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- It is not necessary to grease the cookie sheets.
- Cream together the butter or margarine with the 2 cups of powdered sugar.
- Add the salt, vanilla and 3 1/2 cups flour, and mix until blended; the mixture should be fairly stiff, so add more flour if needed.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pinch off pieces of dough, roll into about 3/4" balls (you can make them larger if you prefer), place on the cookie sheets about 2" apart, and flatten with a fork on baking sheet twice for each cookie, making a criss-cross pattern and flattening cooking about halfway.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until just very lightly beginning to brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for about a minute, then remove to a rack and dust lightly with additional powdered sugar.
- Dust again when cookies are completely cooled, or store as is, and dust a 2nd time after putting on a platter to serve.
- Makes about 64 cookies; recipe halves easily.

always good to have some extra different recipes for c-chip cookies. Thought this was different using pow. sugar, so tried it. Made the dough as directed and thought...where's the liquid???...so I added an egg, and some milk to make it a dough. I made 1/2 batch by the way. They came out awesome. So whoever wrote this recipe must of been enjoying a cocktail or two, omitting the egg and milk.

I enjoying cooking, baking and experimenting with new, ethnic, and out-of-the-ordinary recipes. I live in Pennsylvania with my crazy cat, Da Fuzz (aka Demoncat), who is spoiled beyond human comprehension.
