Ingredients: 1 stick salted butter, room temperature
1 C sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
1 C sour cream ( I use light)
2 C flour
1 1/2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
Topping:
1/2 C white sugar or brown sugar, lightly packed
6 oz. chocolate chips
1 heaping t cinnamon
Opt. 1/2- 1 C toasted chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 dish.
1. Stir together dry ingredients and set aside.
2. Stir together topping ingredients and set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugar on medium-high. Beat in eggs, then add vanilla.
4. Alternately add dry ingredients and sour cream, mixing on low, just until blended.
4. Batter will be thick and sticky. Drop half of the batter by tablespoonfuls into the prepared dish. Sprinkle with half of the topping and then half of the chips. Press batter lightly to spread. Drop spoonfuls of remaining batter on top and then sprinkle the remaining topping. Distribute chips and press lightly. It will seem like there isn't enough batter, but it will spread out and rise.
