                                CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, MEET SUMMER HEAT

These cookies were made by accident when a whole chokolate bar had melted in the summer heat. The recipe is from the years when I lived in the states, thus the measurments in cups.
One cup equals about 2,3dl, so half a cup would be just a little over a dl.

• 200g of dark chocolate melted
• 1/2 cup butter/margarine
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 egg, well beaten
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Melt the chocolate carefully for example in a microwave

Mix shortening and sugars together until light and fluffy. 

Add eggs and mix thoroughly. 

Add salt and soda to flour and sift in two parts to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well. 

Add melted chocolate, nuts and vanilla, and mix thoroughly. 

Drop from teaspoon on greased baking sheet 5cm apart. 

Bake in moderate oven (200c°) 10 to 12 minutes.
Makes about 50 cookies.
