Chocolate Chip Cookies

Well, it is coming to the end of my first semester at UQ. This is simultaneously awesome, petrifying and a reason for cookies.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

(makes 24)

Ingredients

125 grams butter

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs 

2 cups self raising flour

1 cup chocolate chips

Method

Cream the butter and sugar, add the eggs. Mix in the flour and you have dough. I knead this a little bit first before adding the chocolate chips. Then, knead it some more. Now, refrain from just eating the cookie dough (or don't and make another batch)

Make little balls of cookie dough and put them on a greased tray. Throw them in the oven at 180 degrees for about 10 minutes, maybe a little longer if you like them crispy. Now, all you need to do is decide whether these cookies are celebratory or mournful at the end of the semester.

Price

72c for the butter

34c for the brown sugar

74c for the eggs

5c for the self raising flour

60c for the chocolate chips

Yes, $2.45 is pretty good for cookies. What is absolutely priceless however, is your beautiful house mate noticing you've baked and offering you a cookie jar. I'm way too lucky.
