With only three ingredients, these melt-in-your-mouth cookies will be your go-to last-minute quick and easy holiday bake sale fix.
Ingredients
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
decorating sprinkles
icing sugar, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Combine chocolate chips and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium, stirring halfway through, until melted, about 1 min.
Stir flour into chocolate mixture. Roll dough into 1-in. balls and arrange on baking sheet 2 in. apart. Press down to flatten slightly. Sprinkle coloured sprinkles on cookies, if desired. Press down gently so they stick.
Bake in centre of oven until cookies are puffed, 18 to 20 min. Sift icing sugar overtop, if desired. Serve warm, or transfer to a rack to cool completely.
