Chocolate Flecked Slice and Bake Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 3 oz dark chocolate chopped

Instructions

  • First, cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the egg until well combined. Then stir in the flour and salt until a dough ball forms. Then, stir in the chopped chocolate.
  • You may need to use your (clean) hands to press the dough together here. Roll the dough into a long cylinder, cover in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight. You can keep this frozen in your freezer for at least a couple months (probably longer).
  • When you are ready to make cookies, remove from the freezer and allow to sit out for a few minutes while your oven preheats. Then, slice into 1/4 inch or slightly thicker rounds and place on a baking sheet lined with a baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Bake at 325°F for 12-15 minutes in the upper 1/3 of the oven. Remove from the oven and place the cookies on a cooling rack.

Notes

The above recipe will make around two dozen cookies. If you like, you can divide the dough in half before rolling into a cylinder, wrapping, and freezing. T
his will give you two batches, each being a dozen cookies. Or you can simply do one large cylinder and cut off as you go. It’s really up to you and how much space/options you may have in your freezer.
If you want to use dark chocolate chips, you’re aiming for around 1/2 cup, chopped to get to the 3 oz. measurement.
