52 Weeks of Cooking- Week One

I've been missing from here lately and for that I am sorry.

But it's a new year and I'm back baby!

I really would like to get back into cooking again and I decided that I will start out slow.

Trying one new recipe a week shouldn't be too hard should it?

Just which ever day I happen to be off, I will cook 1 new thing.

And what a better day to start than the 1st!

So today, I present to you:

Chocolate Chip Crunchs

1 cup melted butter (2 sticks)

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 beaten eggs

2 1/2 cups flour

2 cups crushed cornflakes (I discovered that 2 cups uncrushed cornflakes will give you 1 cup crushed cornflakes)

1 to 2 cups chocolate chips

-Melt butter. Add sugars and stir. Add soda, salt, vanilla and eggs. Mix. Add flour and stir. Add cornflakes and chocolate chips. Mix.

-Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

-Form walnut sized dough balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. Press down with floured spatula.

-Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on sheet, for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.

These cookies are different. The crunch that the cornflakes gives is nice. I will definitely keep this recipe for later!
