1 1/2 cup white sugar

3 cups unbleached White Flour

1 Bag Mini Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven 375 degrees.

Whip all ingredients together except flour into a lemon-yellow

color cream. (Wire whisk makes it easier) Gradually add flour 1

cup at a time until well mixed. Should resemble brownie batter.

Add 1/2 Cup extra flour if when you pick up a small piece, leaves

a lot of oil on the fingers (like over-buttered toast does). Add

the chips and stir until well mixed.
