One bowl chocolate chip cookies

It’s been a while since I baked anything so today I was in the mood to bake cookies. This is a one bowl recipe that does not require a mixer and can be whipped up in no time. You can use chocolate that you chop up yourself or use good quality chocolate chips. The chips keep their shape more than the bulk chocolate so it’s a question of style and what you have on hand, but either option works.

I keep these very simple with just vanilla for flavouring but you can embellish with chopped nuts, a few raisins etc, you know the cookie drill. I bake them at 375°F for about 15 minutes, until just beginning to get golden around the edges and on top.

The cookies are crispy-chewy, kind of in-between the soft and crunchy types. Should please just about anyone.

Enjoy.
