The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie

I received a number of request from my friends on face book for the chocolate chips cookie. Well here is it. Making chocolate chip cookie is very simple and easy to make. The following are the ingredients for the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie (from Betty Crocker).

• 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1 cup margarine or butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flor or whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional – not in original recipe – I added to make the cookie rise)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup coarsely chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 package (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

Mix sugar and egg in large bowl. Add in sugar and stir till sugar is mixed well into the butter and egg (Tips: If you want your chocolate chips to be crunchy, just stir slightly and not to let the sugar melt). Next stir in the flour, baking soda, baking power and salt (Dough will be stiff). Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Leave it in the fridge for about 5 minutes so that the dough harden a bit.

Drop dough by rounded table spoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto un-greased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown in a pre-Heated oven  - about 180 – 190 degrees Celsius. (Centres will be soft). Cool slightly before removing the from the cookie sheet.
