Method

Prepare the Dough

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar mixture to the butter and continue to beat until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Assemble the Fingers

  1. 5

    Fold in Filling

    Gently fold in the chocolate chips and, if desired, the chopped nuts into the dough until evenly distributed.

  2. 6

    Shape the Fingers

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough and shape it into finger-like shapes, placing them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Finish and Serve

  1. 8

    Dust with Powdered Sugar

    Once the DINAH FINGERS have cooled completely, dust the tops with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the Half-Dozen DINAH FINGERS warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
