Ingredients:

1½ cups plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour

¼ cup sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

Pinch of salt

1 cup (6 oz.) chocolate chips

1 cup heavy cream

2 tbsp. butter, melted

Additional sugar for sprinkling

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; stir to combine. Toss in the chocolate chips and stir to blend. Add the heavy cream to the flour mixture, stirring just until a dough forms and the dry ingredients are incorporated. Knead the dough very briefly with well floured hands to ensure even mixing.

Using a large dough scoop (or a large spoon), drop rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with additional sugar (if using). Bake 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned.
