Question: "Hey, do any of you other geeks have a chocolate chip cookie recipe?"
Answer: "Dude, just use the one off the back of the package of chocolate chips."
So:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans in this case)
These things have virtually NO nutritional value... I was actually looking to make them to stave off the evil of snacking on chocolate chips. Now I have to skirt the evil of chocolate chip *cookies*.
In order to do so, I'm taking them in to class today. The students just had a test and we're going to watch an appropriate movie this afternoon, so I suppose a snack would be in order.
Anyway, next thing up is probably another loaf of banana bread, since I have 4+ bananas that are headed that way. No cooking plans for this weekend (I'll have my boys, so we'll eat simple or eat out), but maybe next week and weekend...
