Don't make too many. Very old leftovers can be crumbled over ice cream.

Ingredients

for 40 cookies

• 1 cup brown sugar (helps with colour)
• 1 cup sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil (or just use butter)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups flour
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 cup nuts
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 tsp milk powder (optional, for soft cookies)

Preparation

Butter should be room temp, not melted, so take out 30 min before.

Mix butter, oil and sugar in electric mixer.

Add eggs, one at a time, and homogenise.

Mix remaining ingredients.

Optionally, refrigerate dough for 30 min for softer cookies.

Make round scoops of dough and place on baking paper on oven tray.

Bake at 180 oC 8 minutes for soft cookies. When they come out they should look undone.

Bake at 150 oC for 20 min for crispy cookies.
