Well, not mania. But I finally got around to making cookies, so I'm certainly manic. Check 'em out, yo. It's my mum's recipe... that she got from a friend 30 years ago. Anyway, it's incredibly easy and delicious. Not to mention pretty much impossible to screw up.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 4 oz butter (½ cup)
- 4 oz sugar (½ cup)
- 3 oz brown sugar (½ cup)
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 6 oz plain flour (1 ½ cups) Note: I always use at least 2 cups, just because I prefer a less sticky consistency.
- pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
- chocolate chips
2. Cream butter.
3. Combine two sugars and add gradually to butter while beating until mixture is smooth and fluffy.
4. Beat in egg and vanilla.
5. Sift flour, salt and bicarb and stir into mixture until smooth.
6. Place small amounts on trays lined with baking paper and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Makes nearly 30, depending on the size. I had some leftover dough at the end, but couldn't be bothered lining another tray, hence the two dozen cookies I ended up with.
Unfortunately, I ate a lot of cookie dough while I was making them, so I won't be eating the actual cookies any time soon. Sometimes I just seem to completely lack common sense.
Honestly.
