Tim loves a good chocolate chip cookie. In fact, he asked for groom's cookies instead of a groom's cake. I just have to indulge him with some homemade goodness occasionally, especially during rainy weather. I know everyone has a chocolate chip cookie recipe. But here's mine.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
1 c butter, softened
3/4 c brown sugar
3/4 c sugar
Cream together and add:
1 t vanilla
2 eggs
Mix thoroughly then add:
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1 T instant coffee granules
1/4 c cocoa powder
Mix and add:
2 c chocolate chips
Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 - 12 minutes. Cool in baking rack.
I'm sure it was a treat for him to have a cookie that didn't have apple sauce, pumpkin, squash, zucchini, or shredded carrot. Kudos on being a healthy chef, I love it, but I know that for treats, boys just want real, unhealthy cookies. Now, get back to hiding vegetables in everything before he's spoiled!
ReplyDeleteI made zucchini chicken meatloaf the other night. It was awesome, and of course, I was able to sneak in vegetables. :)
