My sister and I have been making these cookies for years. They are simple and delicious without the eggs! Double the recipe, they go fast. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 (12 ounce) package miniature chocolate chips, divided |
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Mix flour, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until dough is smooth. Reserve 1/4 the chocolate chips; stir remaining chips into dough until evenly distributed. Roll dough into 24 small logs and place a baking sheet.
3. Bake in preheated oven until slightly golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
4. Melt shortening in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips until melted, about 5 minutes. Dip cookies into chocolate and return to baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm.
