Easy Bake Oven Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe for chocolate chip cookies comes from an old cookbook that originally came with Easy Bake Ovens years ago. It produces a spongy, chewy cookie that, although it could use some improvement, is still better than the expensive mixes in the toy department. I used butter instead of the shortening called for in the original recipe, and I think mini chocolate chips would be better than one regular-sized chip per cookie. We baked two cookies at a time because they do spread out quite a bit in the pan.


Easy Bake Oven Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 ½ teaspoons softened butter or shortening
2 Tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon vanilla
4 teaspoons milk
12 to 15 chocolate chips
Preheat Easy Bake Oven 15 minutes (regular oven 350F). Cream together sugar and butter or shortening. Blend in flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Stir in milk. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by half teaspoonfuls on well greased pan, allowing room to spread. Bake 5 minutes. Yield: 12 to 15 cookies.
