My sister was baking cookies for the first time so we decided to split the recipe and go ahead with half of all the ingredients.
This recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies and that's quite a lot of work for beginners in baking.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 and 1/4 cups regular sugar
1 and 1/4 cups brown sugar
225g butter
1/2 cup oil
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
2 eggs
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
In a large bowl beat both sugars, butter, oil, vanilla essence and eggs.
Caution! At this stage the batter tastes extremely yummy so please avoid licking it.
In another dry bowl first mix the dry ingredients (i.e. flour, salt & baking soda) then add it to the above mixture with spoon.
Mix well with hands to form dough. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Preheat oven to 175°C/350°F.
Take a tablespoon of dough and make a cookie. Place cookies on a cookie sheet or baking tray.
There is no need to grease the tray.
Bake for 10 minutes ONLY. Cool slightly. Remove tray from oven and cool completely.
