Ingredients
  • 1cup buttersoftened
  • 1/2cup powdered sugar
  • 2cups flour
  • 1/2tsp salt
  • 1/2cup chocolate chipsmini size
Instructions
  1. In a deep bowl, cream together butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Gradually add flour and salt until completely mixed. Gently stir in chocolate chips (and/or pecans).
  2. Turn out onto floured surface, separate into two equal parts. Roll dough into a ‘snake’ (just like Play Doh!) that is about 2″ in diameter; roundness not really important, they can be kind of square-ish as well. Wrap in cling film, refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut dough into slices about 1/2″ thick. Place on cookie sheet (I used parchment paper to make clean up easier). Bake for 11-13 minutes. Bottom edges will start to brown, top edges should not. Cookies set up after removing from oven. Store in an airtight container.
