Cookie Recipe


Hello :) I wanted to share the chocolate chip cookie recipe from an earlier post. I promised in the comments that I'd post the recipe here. It's certainly not my very own recipe, but it's one that I've made quite a bit back in my teen years. It's a classic recipe from back home and so I'm sure that many of you already know this recipe well, but for those of you who are from elsewhere and may not be familiar with it, here it is. As I noted within the recipe, I had to substitute the main ingredient in the recipe since I'm not able to get the chocolate morsels here readily. However, the cookies turned out great and I look forward to making some more some time in the near future :-)

One more thing, I've also included a conversion tool here to make the measurements easy to calculate for everyone if needed. Click here for the site. So without further delay, here it is :-) I hope you enjoy giving them a try and if you do try to make them, please drop by and let me know how they turned out!

• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.)NESTLE TOLL HOUSE Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels (I can’t get these here, so I substituted another brand of chocolate chips)

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

For the Love of Cookies



It was a baking day around the Yellow House a few days ago. I made some chocolate chip cookies and this is a photo of the first few. I made a few more, but between me and Brit Boy they somehow disappeared. I wonder how that happened??? ;-)

I know it may seem that I only bake and never cook anything else, but I do cook other things...some rather healthy things, but sometimes you just need a cookie :) I thought back and realized that I haven't made chocolate chip cookies in probably twenty years. So I got all nostalgic that day and decided to make some. I've been very nostalgic lately.

By the way, they were delicious...I'm gonna have to make another batch and this time I won't wait twenty years! :-)
