Ingredients

  • FILLING:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Spice Islands® pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon Spice Islands® pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Divide dough in half; place each half between two sheets of waxed paper. Roll into 12-in. x 10-in. rectangles. Chill until almost firm, about 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chips and butter; stir until smooth. Beat in vanilla and salt. Spread over dough. Carefully roll up each rectangle into a tight jelly roll; wrap in waxed paper. Chill for 2 hours or until firm.
Cut into 1/8-in. slices with a sharp thin knife; place on greased or parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 7-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 9 dozen.
