My daughter would like me to make chocolate chip cookies in shapes like I
make with sugar cookies. Is this possible? The chocolate chip dough is a lot softer.
Hope you have some ideas.
Thanks,
Yvonne

Found this:
Roll-Out Chocolate Chip Cookies from "Sugarbaker's Cookie Cutter Cookbook"
1 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg yolk
2 1/2 cup bleached all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate minichips

In a large bowl beat the butter, sugars, vanilla, and salt till creamy. Beat in the egg yolk. Gradually add the flour and beat until thoroughly combined. By hand, stir in the chips.
Turn dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap or reclosable plastic bag. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 min.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Lightly flour the work surface and rolling pin and remove half the dough from the plastic. Rewrap and refrigerate the other half. Roll dough to 1/4" thickness and cut out.
Bake 10-12 min. or till golden brown. Cool on sheet for 5 min. and then transfer to wire rack. The cookies will harden and become firm enough to decorate as soon as the warm chocolate has cooled and hardened; about 30 min.
//It doesn't taste like a traditional ccc but the kids really liked it! Edibleart// ;;have also made lots of chocolate chip cookie cut outs. My mom only eats chocolate chip cookies so I have to do it like that. As everyone is saying the only really hard part is cutting it out. It seemed to take me forever!!! But in the end they all turned out perfect and didn't lose their shape.finnox;; --
