The Goldfish Chronicles

I’ve been experimenting with cookies for the family. Here’s the current favourite recipe:

1. Mix 1.5 cups of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 2 sticks of room temperature butter and a healthy pour of molasses up with a fork.
2. Add two eggs and mix them in.
3. Sift 1.5 cups of plain flour, 0.5 cup of cocoa, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt.
4. Turn oven on to 375 F. Timing wise this seems to work well for me to have it pre-heated when I’ve got them ready to put in.
5. Add a cup of oats. Mix it all together.
6. Form flattened balls on baking trays with either greaseproof paper or tinfoil on them. I put 2 trays in with 6 balls each.
7. Cook for 10-15 minutes.
8. Do a second batch as you should have only used half the bowl’s contents.
9. Eat while warm before the family notice you were baking.

Most of the recipe is from the side of the sugar, but I’ve been changing it a fair bit.
