Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Bowls

These are one of my favourites! Mainly because they look cute and you can eat them when you're finished your ice cream!

Ingredients:


3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (1 ½ stick) butter, melted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips


Step 1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2To make the dough, combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl combine the butter and sugar and beat with electric mixer until light and fluffy. To this mixture, add the eggs and extract. Once it’s blended start adding the flour mixture, one cup at a time. Be sure to blend it after each cup.

Step 3Roll out the dough in between two pieces of wax paper. Use the other side of a cupcake tray and cover in tin foil. Make sure you crisco the tin foil so the dough doesn't stick when it comes out of the oven.
Cut pieces large enough to cover the tin foil on the cupcake tray.



Step 4Bake for about 10-13 minutes or until the cookie cups are golden brown. Cool on pan or cooling rack for 10 minutes before attempting to loosen the bottom edges of the cookies. So as not to break off the cookie edges and using a small spatula carefully remove cups from the pan and allow them to cool completely. Wash the pan, spray it again, and repeat the process with the remaining dough.
