This recipe is from week 10 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Antarctica is my 10th stop (yes I know Antarctica is technically not a country, but I do love a challenge). These cookies are so famous that Air National Guard pilots have been known to detour to the South Pole just to get some. Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine |
1/2 cup butter |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup chocolate chips |
2/3 cup white chocolate chips |
2/3 cup butterscotch chips |
1 cup nuts, chopped (i used peanuts and cashews) |
Directions:
1. First, cream the butter and the two kinds of sugar:.
2. Now add the eggs and the vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. Then add to the sugar/butter/egg mixture and blend until a soft dough forms.
4. Add the chips and the chopped nuts.
5. Drop the dough by teaspoons onto a baking sheet, about two inches apart. The recipe doesn't say to grease the baking sheet, but my cookies stuck pretty badly so I would definitely put a little butter on the pan next time I make these.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the bottom edges are lightly browned.
