Chocolate Chip Cookies from Mandy's Gourmet Salads cookbook

By -

There are many chocolate chip cookie recipes out there, but you need a variety because sometimes you have only 1 egg, or not enough chocolate chips for a bigger recipe, and so on. This one makes a nice small batch, is easy to do and they are delicious. If you use salted butter you might want to go to 1.5 tsp salt instead of 2tsp - the first time I made them, having used salted butter, they were maybe a tad too salty. But try it out and see what you think. This is from a cookbook called Mandy's Gourmet Salads and it's a restaurant in Montreal - I took the book out from the library and liked a lot of the salads too.
