I love anything with chocolate, but I also like sugar cookies, Mexican wedding balls (that's what my family called them anyway), and gingerbread cookies. I'm not much of a cook or a baker but I like to try and make a batch of cookies this time of year.
This is the only recipe I know by heart!
Wet combination:
1/2 cup each brown & white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg (beaten)
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
(mix all together till smooth)
Dry combination:
1 cup cake/pastry flour (I never have that on hand- I use regular flour or whole wheat flour - hey, if I'm in the kitchen, its all about MY RULES!)
1 cup rolled oatmeal
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of what ever you like - chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch, raisins, walnuts.... what ever you desire - and if you want more than 1 cup - live on the edge!
mix wet and dry together, stir till 'sticky' and if too runny, I'll throw in another 'shake' of flour or oatmeal (you'll notice the technical term "SHAKE"!)
Bake at 350 degrees on parchment paper x 10 - 12 minutes (watch your oven, you want them "tanned" not "charred"!"
Its not an exact science for me - I am not good in the kitchen so while these are the specific measurements, I'm all over the place, but they are yummy and they go quickly!![]()
Thanks for the recipe, Enerchi. These sound great.
