[imcarthur]

I learned to cook as a teenager since my mother was a 'well done' cook. My 1st wife (the useless twat) was hopeless in the kitchen (and elsewhere) so the trend continued. My real wife (current) has some recipes but believes stoves have one temperature (HIGH). So . . .

Livi: Here's one you can make with your daughters. This is a straight steal from the Five Roses Cookbook.

Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup Five Roses All-purpose Flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chocolate chips (or more)
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar

Stir Five Roses Flour, salt and baking soda together.

Mix 2 tablespoons of the dry ingredients with the chocolate chips.

Cream butter; add brown sugar gradually, beating until creamy.

Beat in egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients, mixing well.

Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.

Bake in a moderate oven (375°F) 8 to 10 minutes or until done.

Cool slightly before removing from pan.

Yield: 2 dozen or so.

Variation: add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I never do but I’m a CCC purist)
