This is my go-to recipe for every occasion – for Shalach Manos, for Sheva Brachos, as a thank you gift, just because…try it.  They’re very easy to make and, I should warn you, very addictive!

1 cup canola oil

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

3 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup finely chopped pecans

5 tablespoons sugar combined with 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Grease baking sheets.  Beat oil, sugar and eggs.  Add dry ingredients and mix well.  Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.  Divide dough into 4 loaves.  Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.  Bake for 20 minutes.  Cut into 1/3 to ½- inch slices, turn on sides and bake until golden; another 5 to 10 minutes.
