3. Cookies

Ingredients:
2 sticks ( lb / 225 grams / 1 cup) butter
(and only butter), softened
cup (180ml) granulated white sugar
cup (180ml) packed brown sugar
teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (600ml) (290g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry ground lemon or orange peel
(optional)
2 cups (480ml) (12-ounce package) semisweet chocolate morsels / chips
5 oz. (150g) chopped nuts, such as
groundnuts (optional)
Procedures:
1.Preheat oven to 375F (210C), or 350F
(195C) if you want chewy cookies.
2.Cream butter (or margarine), granulated sugar,
and brown sugar in a large mixer bowl.
3.Add eggs one at a time, beating until fully
incorporated.

4.Add vanilla extract and beat in.

5.In a small bowl, sift together the dry ingredients
(except chocolate & nuts). Add to the wet
mixture in two parts and fold until combined. (If
you beat this too long, you may get some gluten
formation which will change the cookie texture).
6.Stir in chocolate morsels (chips), and nuts if
using. Please be considerate of people with nut
allergies by mentioning the nuts if you use them.
7.Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased
baking sheets. There should be enough fat in
the cookie dough to prevent sticking, but using
parchment paper or non-stick pans may help if
you find this not to be the case.
8.Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes
or until golden brown (cooking times may vary).
Let stand for about 1 minute and remove from
hot baking sheet to cool on a wire rack.
