In this week’s parsha, Behar, Hashem gives Moshe the laws of shemitah, which gives the fields a chance to rest in the seventh year. Since we all give our ovens a break on the seventh day of the week, here’s a raw cookie dough recipe to enjoy!

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup milk chocolate chips
• ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Combine brown sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy.

2. Beat in vanilla extract and salt.

3. Add flour; mix until a crumbly dough forms. Mix in milk. Fold in milk chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips.
