Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I just used the cap to measure out two cap fulls, does anybody else do this?)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
1 1/4 cups chocolate chips (use whatever kind you have, semi-sweet, milk, butterscotch, white... Possibilities are endless!)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie pan with parchment paper. Mix the butter and vanilla.
Add in the flour, sugar, salt and chocolate chips, using your hands or a wooden spoon mix it all together until well combined.
The dough will be fairly dry and crumbly. Dump the dough onto lined cookie sheet.
Press it into a thin layer using your hands. Mine didn't completely fill the cookie tray. The thinner you press it, the crispier it will be and the quicker it will cook, so adjust accordingly.
Bake for 20 minutes, check, if edges are lightly brown and center is set, remove from oven. Allow to cool COMPLETELY (this is probably the hardest part, I put the whole tray in the fridge to speed up the process ☺).
Break up into pieces.
Eat, repeat!
