Chocolate Chip Cookies

180C baked 15 mins

I first made this based on Van Houten’s chocolate chip wrapper when I was 17… My friends nicknamed my cookies Famous Wendy. Well, they said, it tasted similiar with Famous Amos.

Last year I had to made huge amounts for a fund raising event.. So, I experimented with ways to skimp on the ingredients, and to use up ingredients per batch by the packaging.. but yet.. making a delicious cookie.. It doesn't taste that similar anymore.. but still, good..

So, here’s my much skimped recipe. It spreads a little

250gm butter
330 gm brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
250gm choc chip
500gm flour
2 tsp baking powder

And here’s one that I changed a bit again for own consumption.. as I found the original recipe (Van Houten's) a bit too oily..and this recipe doesn't spread much

250gm butter
200 gm brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
500gm chocolate chips
100gm coarsely chopped almonds
400gm flour
2 tsp baking powder.

Method:
1. Cream butter and sugar together.
2. Add in egg, vanilla, and salt and mix until well combined. This is the wet mixture.
3. Sift flour and baking powder together. Mix with choco chips and almonds. This is the dry mixture.
4. Put the dry mixed ingredients into the wet mixture and combine well.
5. Scoop 1 tsp of cookie dough onto baking sheet, leaving some space in between each cookie.
6. Bake at 180C for 15mins (for browner finish, but more fragrant) or 170C for 16 mins for a lighter colour.

I like mine having a rugged surface rather than a smooth round patty.. So, I just spoon them.

These fair ones are baked 170C for 16 mins
