do that drop cookies

Posted by: bakingwhiz  :  Category: Chocolate, Cookies, Recipes, oatmeal

Drop cookies are made from a relatively of soft dough that is “dropped” by spoonfuls onto the baking sheet. During baking, the mounds of dough spread and flatten. Popular examples of this are chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, and oatmeal cookies.

I guess the best thing about drop cookies is that they’re easy to make. Aside from that, ingredients for making this sumptuous dessert could easily be found. Anytime of the day you could go and make some. SO why don’t you try out this one. A mix of chocolate and oatmeal for a hearty dessert!

1/2 cup chopped nuts

1. Spoon chocolate chips and nuts into small bowl, set aside.

2. Spoon brown and white sugar into mixing bowl, add margarine or butter, cream well.

3. Add 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, mix well.
