Chocolate Chip Slab Cookies

Sometimes we need baking and we need it now!  Depending on my mood, making cookies may not be the best choice as baking cookies requires patience, time-keeping and precision, none of which are my strong points on the days that end in 'y'. Thus . . . mixing up one bowl of ingredients, smearing it into one lightly greased pan and then baking it . . . becomes a marvelous option!

With no further ado, I present my version of chocolate-chip-cookies-that-don't-have-to-be-dropped-by-teaspoon-onto-parchment-paper-lined-tray-and-then-baked-while-being-timed-so-as-to-not-overcook.

A forgiving, easygoing chocolate chip slab cookie:

Chocolate Chip Slab (Cookies)

  

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

1 cup chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar together.  Beat thoroughly, as this is ‘the secret’ to this recipe!   Add vanilla and flour.  Mix well.  Add chocolate chips and mix again.

Dump the mix into a lightly greased cookie sheet with sides and pat down into pan. 

Bake at 185 C for 25 minutes-ish (when it is light brown around the edges and set in the middle!)

Let cool slightly before slicing into bars.

Try to avoid eating too many in one setting.

Celebrate how easy that was! J
