Try these - they were on the back of our flour packet (Washington brand, no less!). Cooking these today means I've gotten through most of my trump cards by Tuesday, so stay tuned for the rest of the weeks activities!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 cup shortening (I used butter)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 SR flour
1 cup choc chips
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Cream shortening and sugars, add egg and vanilla. Beat until well blended. Add sifted flour, blend well. Add chocolate chips and drop by teaspoonful onto greased baking sheets (I used baking paper). Bake 10-12 mins at 375F. Remove cookies from baking sheet to cooling rack. Makes about 4 dozen cookies
It is short, easy, and I made it with a 'helper'. You end up with more a sort of thick batter with choc chips in it, and you do literally need to use a teaspoon - no rolling into balls required! They are very slim, probably because they sort of melt into shape, and I suspect they would burn easy (but I struggle with my gas oven). Leave to cool on tray until they've cooled a bit before moving. I only managed around 2.5 dozen, so I reckon their cookies must be pretty small. Consider doubling recipe, it is so easy. Very edible, very morish.
