1 1 2 Instant comfort and mood-improver! The children had 4 cups of milk to go with the cookies and we had to run away with the nuts and chocolate chips! The cookies were all sizes, from mini jumbo cookies, to mega jumbo cookies that grew to the size of a plate! The best part about the afternoon? Children getting so excited about kneading the dough that they were climbing onto the kitchen top to mix and get their hands dirty with dough.... Next time though, we'll make sure to tell them to aim for the cookies, not the floor when it comes to topping the cookies :) Comfort food...made by Raffles Culinary Academy INGREDIENTS 500g butter, softened 300g packed brown sugar 1 egg 500g plain flour 2g baking powder 2g salt 150g unsweetened chocolate chips 125g walnuts, pecans, peanuts, almonds or pistachios 1 teaspoon Vanilla essence DIRECTIONS 1.
