Chocolate Chip Cookies for Decorators

I considered just linking to Sweet Sugar Belle's recipe, but if her site were to go down, I'd be lost without this recipe, which is perfection for royal icing art.

• 1 c unsalted butter
• 1/3c granulated sugar
• 1/2 c light-brown sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 - 2 ½ c all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ½ c semi-sweet mini-chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Cream together the butter and sugars. To that add the vanilla and egg yolk. Sift together the flour and salt, and add it one cup at a time until completely incorporated. Then, BY HAND fold in the chocolate chips. You can do it with your mixer, but it might break them up, so I would really just do it the old fashioned way.
2. MEANWHILE, PREHEAT YOUR OVEN TO 350°
3. While you wait for the oven to warm, wrap your dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least thirty minutes. When it is chilled, roll out cookies on lightly floured parchment and bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes.
4. These cookies roll and cut SO WELL!
