Cookie Love ♥

Making cookies makes me happy. I've been baking for ages now.. and everyone loves this cookie. I love the cookie dough. yummy!!!


Instructions:
1/2 C Butter (1 stick)
1/2 C Brown sugar
1/2 C White Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Vanilla Essence
1C & 2Tbs Flour
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 C Chocolate chips.
1/2 C Nuts, Optional

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
If your not using a cookie tray, you need to lightly oil the tray your using to bake.
In a bowl sift together flour, baking powder & salt and set aside.
In a separate bowl beat the butter until it is soft and creamy.
Add little at a time the brown sugar and white sugar.
Add the egg and beat.
Add the vanilla essence and mix well.
Fold in the sifted ingredients. This will make it doughy.
Stir in Chocolate chips and nuts.

Using a table spoon scoop out the dough and place on the baking tray at 3" intervals. The dough will melt and spread so you need to leave enough space. bake for about 8 - 10 mins. Once done take out and let it cool.

*Note
You can do this the old fashioned way (like me) use some muscle power and a wooden spoon to do all the beating and mixing. Or you can use a mixer on medium speed. Don't over beat when using a mixer.

If you like your cookies a little crunchy and not chewy bake then for 3 extra mins. The cookies get hard as they cool so don't over bake them. Cool them on a wrack or a plate, not on the baking tray.


Bon Appétit
