A lovely memory for the end of Chocolate Month...

OLD-FASHIONED CHOC CHIP COOKIES

125g softened butter

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs, beaten

2 cups self-raising flour, sifted

3/4 cup choc chips

1. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl

2. Add the eggs, flour and choc chips

3. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined and a little sticky

4. Roll dough into small balls and place on a greased and lined baking tray. Press dough gently with back of a spoon

5. Bake in 180degree oven for 15 minutes (160degree fan forced)

**Notes

- I used 3/4 cup choc chips, but the recipe would work with any amount. If I'd only had 1/2 a cup, or the remnants of a packet, then I just would've used that :)

- Initially, it looks like way too much flour - stick with it, it all combines nicely in the end

- Makes between 24 - 28 cookies. Depends how much mixture you have to 'test' before you bake!

- Recipe by my old next door neighbour, Jessie. She was like a grandma to us when we were growing up and I loved going next door for some homemade choc chip biscuits and shortbread.
