Servings: 10 people
Ingredients
- 3 cups (390 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium for 2-3 minutes. Mixture should start to look lighter in color.
- With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in two batches, mixing until just combined between batches.
- Put the batter in a bag or container and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. On a single baking sheet, form three 8 x 2 1/2 inch rectangles of dough, about 1 to 1 1/4 inches high. The 3 rectangles will be adjacent to the long ends of the baking sheet and be about (see pictures above).
- Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Slice at a bias into 1 to 1 1/4 inch pieces.
- Flip pieces on their side. Bake for another 7 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
