  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups flour

  • less than 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix eggs with a fork. Add sugar and vanilla.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix flour and baking powder.
  3. Measure oil.
  4. Add flour and oil to egg mixture alternately, ending with flour.
  5. Add the chocolate chips.
  6. Grease cookie sheets (or use parchment paper). Shape dough into at least 4 loaves.
  7. Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove cookie sheet(s) from oven and lower oven temperature to 300° F.
