"I go to the ocean to calm down, to reconnect with the Creator, to just be happy..." -Nnedi Okorafor (Nigerian sci-fi writer)
And to eat OOEY GOOEY CHOCOLATE CHIP WALNUT COOKIES on the sandy shores and find seashells , kelp and sand dollars...
4 ½ cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups butter ( not
margarine)
1 ½ cups brown sugar
½ cup white sugar One 3.4 ounce package instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
2 tps vanilla
4 ½ cups real chocolate
chips
"What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams..."
-Werner Herzog (opera conductor/ film maker)
NOTE: For Double
Chocolate Chip: add 2/3 cup cocoa powder
with the butter and margarine. Nice. But original seems to be the best
flavor.
OR: Add as well as
the choc chips: 1 ½ cups white chocolate pieces and 1 ½ cups dried cranberries.
I don’t really measure…..just guestimate.
Preheat oven to 350. Sift
flour and baking soda together
"For most of history man has had to fight nature to survive. In order to survive, he must protect it...." -Jacques Cousteau
Cream butter, sugars,
pudding powder together
Combine in eggs and
vanilla
Blend in flour mixture
Stir in Chocolate Chips ( and white choc
pieces and cranberries, if using.
Plop
dough by “tablespoonfuls”….not teaspoonfuls….
onto Silpat lined pans (or use parchment.). Do not skimp.
. I use both hands with
the dough to get gobs of batter on the sheets. Spoons just don’t make the grade
for me. Get in there and be at ONE with the pliable batter.
(Dough does not spread too
much so cookies can be larger)Bake about 11 minutes till
slightly brown. Test with finger to see if it has baked enough…shouldn’t be
wet….Makes a TON of cookies. They won’t last long. Freezes great.
