Baking 101 Rewind

Welcome back, old friend.  I'm revisiting my good buddy the Chocolate Chip Cookie.  Somedays I'm chewy; Somedays I'm crunchy.  This recipe goes way, way, way back.  I'm pretty sure it came from my elementary schools cookbook...? The original recipe is "Nick's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies" but I crossed out "Nick's" and replaced it with "mom's" because I don't know who Nick is.  This is my mom's favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.  

This recipe is different from the previous recipe because...

DISCLAIMER:

I do not use margarine.  Ever.  Seriously.  Ever. It's gross, it doesn't even taste like butter, just use butter.  Please.  

...but this is the exception to that personal creed. 

Let's rendezvous with our old buddies 

1 cup softened margarine*

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg

1 teaspoon milk

4 cups flour

1 bag(12oz) chocolate chips

 

*this is a sandy type of cookie so only certain margarines will work, Blue Bonnet and Imperial work the best

Mix the oil and margarine together

Good.  Add the vanilla, milk, and egg, mix well

Add the sugars

K!  Mix until fluffy

Niiiiice.

Gradually add the flour, maybe like a cup at a time, so 4 increments 

Ooooh so softly mixed :)

Fold in the chocolate chips 

Pretty!

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 

This recipe makes between 4 and 5 dozen cookies.  So I hope you have friends that like cookies.  

Using 1 - 2 tablespoon at a time, place on a lined or greased baking sheet about 2 - 3 inches apart...

...or you could be like me and make your cookies a bit larger and use 3 tablespoon scoops (hehehe)

Bake for 15 minutes for the larger cookies, 10-12 for the smaller cookies

Chomp, chomp, chomp.
