Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe
This Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is not only delicious, it's one of the easiest cookie recipes I have tried. You can either hand mix these or use a counter top mixer. Either way, they alway turn out!
What you need:
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups chocolate chips
What you do:
Cream butter and sugar together. Add egg and mix until blended. Add remaining ingredients and stir/mix just until ingredients are blended together. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed soft brown sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Sesame seeds
24 blanched almonds (halves)
RECIPE METHOD
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the sugars with the margarine. Add the egg and almond extract and beat until fluffy.
Sift the flour and baking powder together and fold into the mixture a little at a time. Beat lightly to make a smooth dough. Do not knead the mixture too much, or the cookies will be hard.
Shape the dough into balls the size of a walnut. Dip the tops of the cookies into the sesame seeds. (You may need to slightly dampen the top of each with a little water.) Lightly press half an almond into the center and flatten a little.
Place the cookies about 1 inch apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Store in airtight containers.
