Very important to leave fresh, yummy cookies for Santa.....Christmas eve is tomorrow night. When I was a kid, my theory was: the more cookies you left, the more presents you got. Of course, that theory never seemed to hold..........We used to sherry, but times are changing... After all, the old guy in the red suit can't go around being sloshed. But he can go around being stuffed with these cookies......
CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES FOR SANTA
(Be sure to leave this tasty, wonderful morsels for Santa where he can see them….. )
1 cup soft butter
1 cup margarine
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
4 ½ cups flour and 2 tablespoons
5 cups semi sweet chocolate chips or nibs
Combine everything into a lovely soft dough. Drop by nice sized teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets. Makes about 5 pans worth, a dozen per sheet. Bake at 375 for about 8-10 minutes. I bake for 7 and ½ minutes first and then add a minute as needed. This gets the cookies just browned around the edges, and soft and chewy in the centre.
These freeze soooo well. But if you eat them all at once, there will be none for Santa……..
