Heat oven to 350 degrees
Beat sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon.
Stir in flour and baking powder. Stir in chocolate chips.
Chill dough for approximately 20 minutes. Will make it easier to roll into cookie logs.
Divide dough into fourths. On lightly floured surface, shape each fourth into roll, 1 inch in diameter and about 15 inches long.
Place rolls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. I like to use a silicon pad. Flatten slightly with fingers.
Mix 3 tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle over dough.
Bake 13-15 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cut diagonally into about 1 inch strips while warm.
