Toll House Rockies

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
• 1/2 cup sugar
• orange zest (optional)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (Extra Dark are Super!)
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 2 -3 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional, mix in with the milk)

1. Preheat over to 400. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
2. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Cut in the butter (or margarine) until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
3. Stir in the sugar, optional orange rind and chocolate chips.
4. Using a fork, mix in the egg and just enough milk to make a moist but stiff mixture. Basically, a biscuit dough.
5. Use 2 forks. Scoop up some of the mixture with one fork and scrape off onto the baking sheet with the other fork, making small rocky heaps, well-spaced apart. Kind of like drop biscuits. Make 12-14 depending on the size you like.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until risen and nicely browned. Don't overbake. Cool on a wire rack.
