125 g Butter
50 g Sugar
3 ts Condensed milk
Few drops vanilla essence
175 g Flour
1 ts Baking powder
50 g Dark chocolate; chopped
Cream togther butter, sugar and milk. Add vanilla, then add flour,
baking powder and chocolate.
Roll into small balls, place on cold greased trays, flatten, bake 20
min at 180 C.
When I cook these for other people I usually do the flattening with my
potato masher which has a nice radial pattern. Otherwise I just use a
fork or my fingers.
Certain of my acquaintances vary this recipe by gently frying special
flowers in butter, then adding sugar, letting it caramelise and cool
then breaking up the result finely and adding it to the cookies. I
tell you this in case anyone has an academic interest in such
things…
From the Edmonds Cookbook (of course), a recipe for chocolate chip
biscuits (aka sante biscuits, although not in recent editions) that
every young NZer must surely have cooked at one stage or another.
For some reason, I get wildly varying (yet always edible) results
although this may reflect more on my cookie making style than on the
recipe itself.
