Action!
Preheat your oven to 375. Line a cookie sheet with Release foil - you don't have to do this, but it sure helps with clean-up.
Combine flour, salt, baking soda, and some cinnamon in a sifter. how much cinnamon? Some. More than none, less than the whole container. Seriously...I just shake it in until it looks good to me.
Cream butter and sugar.
Add vanilla...
And eggs...
Mix thoroughly.
Sift dry ingredients in a little at a time, mixing well between times.
Add the chocolate chips.
Add dried fruit and nuts if you're using them.
Drop by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 for 8 - 9 minutes, or until done to your liking.
Cool thoroughly on a rack before storing.
Reward your assistant. He earned it.
I believe your trusty assistant has your eyes! And, how like you to make certain you made enough for all of us. This is why I love it here.
ReplyDeleteoooh I can smell those wonderful cookies from here, yummmie and I agree with Holly he does have your eyes that cutiepootootie
ReplyDeleteCooking naked. One of life's simple pleasures. Unless you're frying chicken. Well done, Bird!
ReplyDeleteMizz Holly, you are welcome to whatever my kitchen produces - I really just want to bake it, I don't want to eat it...but since I hate to waste food and there's no one else about...sigh...those cookies are going right on my arse, I just know it.
ReplyDeleteMizz Darsden, thanks - I think he's cute, too, but then...I may be a wee biased.
Mizz Susan, some day I'll tell you about the nudist food vendors at one of the events I used to attend. I was always a little nervous at the thought of buying breakfast from them, considering the height of the griddle...
And the underpants make them extra-special!
