Rory and Sadie's lollapalooza: Rory's Fabulous Friday Picnic

After being ill last week and having to catch up on a load of work it was nice to get a break. Lucky for me the weather was perfect, so what could be better than a nice picnic in the park with my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies, some friends and of course my son Marijn.

The recipe is from a cookbook I found during one of my rummages at a second hand book shop. It’s called Cookies Galore by Jaqueline Bellefontaine. For everyone who would also like to have a picnic with some delicious Chocolate Chips Cookies, here is the recipe:

Rory’s Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

300 gram chocolate chips (various flavours)
140 gram butter
150 gram sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
200 gram plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Appliances

Wooden spoon
Small sauce pan
Bowl
Oven tray
2 sheets of baking paper

Preheat the oven to 175 °C or 350°F.

Melt the butter and stir it together with the sugar in a bowl. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture and give it a good stir. Now add in the chocolate chips and stir well.

Take a spoonful of the mixture, make it into a ball and press it down on the baking paper. You should be able to make more or less 12 cookies.

Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes (soft centered) or 12 minutes (crunchy).
