Chocolate Chips Accordion Treats

I usually make these chocolate chips accordion treats during the holidays but they’re also good anytime of the year. They are cute little treats to munch on or pair with a cup of hot tea.

INGREDIENTS :
2 sheets of foil, about a cookie sheet long
3/4 cup of butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup of mini-chocolate chips

Heat oven to 325°. Fold a sheet of foil in1 inch pleats to create the accordion look. Place on a cookie sheet pan. Do the same thing wiht the other foil.

Beat margarine, and sugar until light and fluffy, Add vanilla and eggs to beat.

Add the flour and salt and keep beating until everything is well-blended. Stir in the chocolate chips using a spatula.

Drop 1 rounded teaspoon of the dough into each pleats of the foil. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. The dough will spread to look get the shape. Remove them from the foil and cool completely.

Turn the pleated foil sheets for the following batch. Then turn it back again for the next batch.

You can substitute the chocolate chips with chopped walnuts.

I adapted this accordion treats recipe from a Pillsbury Best of the Bake-Off Cookbook year 1996.
