Choco Chip Cookies

This chocolate cookie is wonderfully quick and easy to make.  These cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle.

Ingredients:

All-Purpose Flour – 1 ¼ cup

Baking Soda – ½ tsp

Salt – ¼ tsp

Unsalted Butter – 125 grams

White Sugar – 1/3 cup

Brown sugar – 1/3 cup

Eggs – 1

Vanilla – 1 tsp

Chocolate Chips – 1 cup

Walnuts – 1/3 cup, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 180 deg. c.; grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.

Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter (softened), brown sugar and white sugar until well blended.

Beat in the vanilla, egg, and until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended.

Stir in the chocolate chips, nuts using a spoon.

Drop by rounded tablespoon or make balls with your hands and place onto greased baking tray. Press gently with fork or fingers.

Bake cookies for 15 to 17 minutes, (check your cookies before they’re done; depending on your scoop size, your baking time will vary) in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted.

Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
