“Making Sweet Cookies for My SWEET Friends”

Feb 23rd “Making Sweet Cookies for My SWEET Friends”

Grandma makes “Cookies”

Cookie making Day! In the last week I’ve read more recipes for cookies and set several aside… some that I have never made before… just… to try out… so today I made cookies!

I have several packages of Toll House Nestle semi-sweet chips and with it being an old dreary day outside… dark and raining… thought that I would try something new… so may as well go with an old “favorite” to start with…chocolate chip recipe, right there … and on the package.

When you are thinking of making cookies and want several… for the taste buds to feel like something extra special is going on … here’s what I did.

The recipe does not call for the flour to be sifted, so that is what I did, and I did sift the flour three times. Also, I used one (1) cup cake flour to see if I could get a better taste?

The recipe calls for two (2) eggs so I used three (3) eggs, because I was going to add almost a cup of flake coconut…did not really measure, just eyeball… like mother used to do! Also, to give the cookie some extra body … something good for the system… almost a cup of quick oats, since they are what every “body” needs and then, I can really justify my eating an extra cookie or two… for when I say “I’m having my ‘oats’ today!” And I was more than generous when adding the nuts! It calls for one cup chopped nuts so I put in almost two (2) cups.

Rather than chop the nuts, I put them in after the eggs were added… with the the coconut and oats so the mixer could do the chopping. Bake ten minutes per tray with (16) cookies per tray… I was baking! I now have two containers full of cookies and really feel good.

Best part of baking cookies… I sampled (1) one cookie from each tray full… have to say… they were really “Good!”
