This recipe came from a class Nikki took last year -- the modern equivalent of Home Economics. It makes a little over two dozen cookies. She made them this afternoon, and the house smells wonderful. The cookies also taste great! As long as the ingredients were out, I made a batch of Peanut Blossom cookies, on the cookie sheet on the left in the photo. They are a basic peanut butter cookie -- the original recipe calls for a Hershey's Kiss in the center of each cookie. I did not have any of those, so I used half of a Hershey's Double Chocolate Nugget in each one.
The recipe for Nikki's Cookies is as follows:
- Wet Ingredients: Mix all wet ingredients together first.
- 1/3 cup margarine (room temperature) and 1/3 cup shortening. (Or 2/3 cup margarine.)
- 1/2 cup white sugar, plus 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla
Dry Ingredients: Stir dry ingredients together. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mix well.
- 1 1/2 cup white flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add 1 cup chocolate chips, mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
Grandchildren that can bake their own cookies are a Grandmother's dream.

Home ec = Family Consumer Science around here. I can almost smell the cookies. Yum.
She says it was called 'life management.' Creative titles, same course.
Hmmm, cookies. Yum! Once I get through my stockpile of Girl Scout cookies, I may have to give these chocolate chip ones a try.
