I’ve just finished making a large batch of chocolate chip cookies…

It’s my grandmother's special recipe and they’re a family favourite. I grew up with them being a staple in the biscuit tins.

I have failed my own kids by not being so religious with the baking. It’s all about my waistline!

Here’s the recipe:

• Soften 1/2 pound butter and 1 cup sugar in the microwave then beat until creamy
• Add 4 tablespoons of condensed milk and mix again ( the more you add the creamier the mixture; I eyeball this step and they have never failed.
• Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips and stir
• Sift in 2 cups plain flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Mix again
• Form into small balls and squish with a wet fork
• Bake in 350℉ oven for 15–20 minutes.

I like my cookies hard and crunchy and these are just that.

Enjoy!
