Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

The smell of chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven is always a delight! I, however, cannot seem to make a good chocolate chip cookie. I have tried it all. Brown sugar. White sugar. Both sugars. Room temperature eggs and butter. Melted butter. Chilled dough. Mix and bake dough. I just can't seem to get it right. So I'm always up to trying a new chocolate chip cookie recipe. 

I found this one interesting because it uses Bisquick. They actually turned out good! It made a small batch, just under 2 dozen when using a standard sized cookie scoop. Now, I normally don't put nuts in cookies because my kids prefer them without so I have not tried them with just the chocolate chips. Hopefully they don't come out a flat mess! I'll definitely make these again :)

Here's my interpretation of the recipe:

Chocolate Chip Cookies

¼ cup soft butter

¾ cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 1/3 cups Bisquick 

½ cup chopped nuts

6 oz pkg. semi-sweet chocolate pieces

Heat oven to 375º. Ungreased sheet. Cook 10 minutes until light brown.

*I used light brown sugar.

*I used pecans.

*Using a standard cookie scoop I made 21 cookies.

*I baked them for 12 minutes in my oven.

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.

Forgotten Cookies

Alright, so I know this blog is supposed to be about handwritten recipes and this one is obviously not. Let me explain. This binder is probably just a tad bigger than my hand. Someone had to take the time to type out each recipe to make sure they'd fit in this little binder. So although it's not written by hand, it still was typed with love. Also, I'm not sure I'd actually call these cookies. They were more like a meringue. So I'd consider it more of a candy. I actually had to trash my first batch because a tiny bit of egg yolk got into my whites. I thought I had spooned it out but my whites never got stiff :( So I had to start over again. Lesson learned!

Here's my interpretation of the recipe:

Forgotten Cookies

2 egg whites, beaten til frothy

¾ cup sugar

*12 tsp cream of tarter (actually ½ tsp)

¼ tsp vanilla

16oz chocolate chips

1 cup pecans, finely chopped

1 brown paper bag

Heat oven to 375.

To egg whites add sugar, cream of tarter, and vanilla. Beat until stiff. Add food coloring if desired.

Add chocolate chips and pecans. Mix well. Drop like divinity onto cookie sheets lined with brown paper bag.

Place in oven. Turn off oven and leave over night. Go to bed. The cookies are ready when you awaken.

*I thought 12 tsp of cream of tarter was a lot so after consulting with my mom, we agreed that it was probably ½ and they forgot to put the / in there.

*I used mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
