Small batch cookie

[vexed_wench]

I've had this recipe saved on my phone for a while. I have no clue where I grabbed it. I wish I did so I could credit the author.
I thought it would be good for when I was visiting my brother. It only makes six nice-sized cookies.

The only difference I made was he was out of butter so I used softened cocoanut oil.

I never use pure vanilla I actually prefer Badia's Dominican style vanilla.

As for the chocolate chips I always swear with my regular cookies you never measure just go with what feels right in your heart. ;)

Seriously he had a bag of Reese's baking mix from Christmas and I used a good chunk of the bag. Any baking chip or M&M Resse's pieces type candy would work.

I baked until the edges were crisp on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.

I like this. As someone in a one person household,it's nice to have small batches of things

That would be a good thing. I'm glad to share.

Cookie tip

what you can do with large batch cookies, is form the dough into a log, slice off what you want to cook NOW, and freeze the rest (wrap it well so it doesn't freezer burn).

If you know you'd use about 6" of that big log, then cut the log into 6" small logs, and wrap and freeze them individually.

Thank you that is always a great tip. I made these because the little brother thought the TV show would be better with hot cookies. I swear no matter how old he gets he will always be 'the baby.' :)

I absolutely *hate* doing things in the kitchen. So, that's one of many shortcuts that just make life JUST a little easier, long haul, lol. :)

I love to cook and bake. One of his bands has a puppet and it takes its payment for shows and recording in the form of cookies.
