Cookies

This post might be strange, because I don't usually post about recipes and everything. But, hey, Raya's coming soon so I thought maybe I should post something special. So, cookies it is!! Now first of all you'll need to follow the instructions (you might want to print it out) :

Neiman-Marcus Cookies

(Recipe may be halved as this makes heaps)

2 (500 ml) cups butter

680 g chocolate chips 4 (1000 ml) cups flour

2 (500 ml) cups brown sugar

2 teaspoons (10 ml) Bicarbonate of soda

1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt

2 (500 ml) cups sugar

500 g Grated Cadbury chocolate

5 (1250 ml) cups blended oatmeal

4 eggs

2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking powder

2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla

3 cups (375 ml) chopped nuts (optional)

Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to fine powder.

Cream the butter and both sugars.

Add eggs and vanilla, mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.

Add chocolate chips, grated chocolate and nuts.

Roll into balls, place two inches apart on a cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees (180 C).

The above quantities make 112 cookies. Enjoy!

So the whole part which I coloured a different colour is based directly from the recipe sheet of paper. No these cookies can vary in size, it depends on your liking. Just so you know, the smaller ones harden faster than the bigger ones. Don't eat the cookies right after they come out because they are still soft so wait just a few minutes or so. So on to the pictures !!



(Above) This is the mixture in which you have to take a small amount and roll it up into ball shaped thingies...


(Above) See. Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll em' up!!


(Above) And there. You should have a nice round ball to place on the tray.



(Above) This is how you prepare the tray. Spread margerine all over and make sure you do it evenly.


(Above) Then, you put flour. Don't spread it with your hands but tap the side and let the flour fall into place, evenly and beautifully.


(Above) You should have it look like this when you're done. These cookies have yet to be placed in the oven. Don't put them too close together because they expand.


(Above) You should have the cookies be like this when they are done, they will easily come off after a few seconds of waiting. These cookies have already been baked in the oven for 10 minutes.


(Above) Just to prove I followed the original recipe and not try and sabotage it. Bwahahaha!!!


(Above) There, you should have them ready after all that. So, enjoy the cookies, and you can also have them on a special occasion. They really are delicious you know!!!
