Читать книгу The Christmas Child - Linda Goodnight - Страница 3

Dear Reader,

Cookies are a major topic in The Christmas Child as well as around the Goodnight house! We love our cookies, especially chocolate chip, and have tried many variances on the old standby recipe. Here is one of our favorites, first discovered by my granddaughter, Lexi. Yummy!

Lexi’s Cookies

1 cup butter or stick margarine, softened

¾ cup brown sugar, packed

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 egg

2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon soda

½ to 1 cup chopped pecans

1 package semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°.

Cream butter or margarine; add sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Stir in flour, salt and soda until well blended. Mix in chocolate chips and pecans. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased or sprayed cookie sheet. Bake for about 8–10 minutes.

Until our next visit to Redemption, Merry Christmas and happy reading.
