Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and keep aside.
To the remaining half of the dough, add the dark chocolate chips and fold them in until evenly distributed.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the chocolate chip dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thick and shape it into a rectangle.
Roll out the plain dough similarly and place it on top of the chocolate chip dough. Roll the two together gently to ensure they adhere.
Using a sharp knife, trim the edges and cut the dough into small rectangles or strips, depending on preference.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delightful low sodium chocolate striped cookies with a favorite beverage.
