Here is another time where I made too many promises and got in over my head. I had some group meetings today and naturally I offered to bring food and drinks. Meetings are always better with food. I should have checked my own schedule before I offered. I got home late last night and I had the choice to start baking at 9:30 or wake up early. My original plan was to make something unique and different. Well, those unique recipes take time. I decided to bake that night and allow the finished product to either set or cool over night. I whipped out my go-to cookbook, a church cookbook, and looked for a recipe with the ingredients I already had at home. The chocolate chip cookie recipe I found was probably the easiest recipe I have ever used. Not to mention it was "Liked" by many. Besides the fact that I had to do a bunch of batches, I think the whole thing made about 50 cookies.
Each batch takes 8 mins ( or till you see golden brown on bottom edges) so if you are in a pinch the whole prep, cook time is about 45mins.
2/3 cup margarine
1c. brown sugar
1c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
2/3c. oil
3c. flour
1tsp. baking soda
1tsp. vanilla
dash salt
12oz chocolate chips
Directions: Mix everything together. Bake at 375 for 8 mins. take out a little before done. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before you remove them.
Bake On!
You could always just go to the store, buy cookies that look homemade, and then put them on a plate and take the credit. Just sayin... :)
ReplyDeleteChurch cookbooks have some of the best recipes. I'm surprised sometimes that there isn't a Pinterest category just for them.
