So my recipe for this year is a long time Favourite. I know I have been making these cookies since I was a teenager. Now they are generally my Chocolate Chip Cookies but the base cookie dough is so adaptable you can use different ingredients to flavour you cookies. When I fancy a batch and don't have chocolate chips in the house I have swapped them for something else. It is the same with the nuts change to ones you like or what ones you have on hand. I have used almonds, walnuts and pecans.

So here is my recipe.

Chocolate Chip Cookies 
Makes approx 30 cookies depending on the size you want.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups plain flour

1/8 tsp salt

1 tsp bi carb of soda

250g butter soften

1/2 cup castor sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

100-200g choc bits

1 cup nuts chopped

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 degree. Sift flour, bi carb,and salt. Cream butter, the two sugars and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time and the sifted ingredients. This is the basic cookie dough.

Fold in the nuts and choc bits.But like I said earlier these last two ingredients can be change to give you different cookies. This recipe is perfect to use what you have in the pantry. Most of the time I have the base ingredients in mine.

Spoon on to greased baking trays and bake for 10- 12 minutes.

Once done they should be a light golden brown colour. Cool on a rack before storing in a cookie jar or tin.

They are great with a cuppa as a little snack.

I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as we do. Please visit everyone else and enjoy their recipes too.

Until Next Time

Keep Stitching
