Whenever I start making cookies my husband says, "It would be cheaper to go the store and buy a packet of biscuits". He doesn't get it! Eating the cookie dough is half the fun. Then, of course, there's the sensational aroma that entices everyone to the kitchen whilst the cookies are baking. It's amazing to watch the kids, and any adults in the house, patiently waiting for them to come out of the oven. How tasty that first, very hot cookie is just off the tray....yum!
If you like baking cookies, or even if you don't these ones are worth the effort. Try stopping at one!
CHOC CHIP COOKIES
500g butter
400g can sweetened condensed milk
5 cups self raising flour
250g packet white choc bits
2 x 250g packet dark choc bits
1. Preheat oven to 180 C. Grease and line baking trays.
2. Using an electric mixer and a very large bowl, beat butter, sugar and sweetened condensed milk until light and creamy.
3. Add sifted flour, and all the choc bits and mix until well combined.
4. Using 1 tablespoon of mixture, roll into balls and place on baking trays and flatten slightly with a fork.
5. Bake for 14 - 16 minutes or until golden. Don't overcook! Allow to stand on trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
NB. This makes a lot of cookies so you may want to halve the quantities or freeze some of the dough for a later date.
I hope you enjoy and you see smiles on the faces of those in your home.
