Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 70 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 150 grams Mini chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the egg mixture into it. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it in half. Shape each portion into a log about 30 cm (12 inches) long and 5 cm (2 inches) wide.

Step 8

Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until set and lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F).

Step 11

Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick slices.

Step 12

Place the slices cut side down back onto the baking sheet.

Step 13

Bake again for 8-10 minutes, turn each slice over, and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until dry and slightly crisp.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
