They look great Helen! There goes the detox for another week until I try a few of these recipes Hubby is going to be very pleased with me as he loves sampling any new recipes I aquire off here

Heh. [forums.egullet.org]

I listened with interest to all the great choc chip recipies in the radio the other day as I was intending to make some to take away camping with a large group of teenagers. So yesterday was bake off day and I made Patsy's chocolate chip biscuits, Toll house cookies and Eileens choc chip bis. At the moment Patsy's and the toll house are the most popular as I think something went wrong when I made Eileen's recipe. They taste fine but are very flat and the chocolate chips dissolved. So if anyone can tell me what I might have done wrong that would be great as the recipe looks like a really nice one.

I made Jan's biscuits today but found the mixture really sloppy so only made 2 biscuits as a trial - they came out very thin and tasted too sweet for me.
I then added 1/2 cup more flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder - they are OK, the kids like them but I probably wouldn't make them again.

Hi Helen
I rang the radio and requested that you read out the peanut butter choc chip cookies recipe again as I'd just tuned in and missed it (and hadn't heard of this forum then) Well you kindly repeated the recipe and I gave it to my daughter who is just getting into this baking passion. The cookies were a very big hit - she made some as per the recipe, and some with melted chocolate and coconut on top (obviously she subscribes to her mother's theory that no food can be too sweet or too rich!)

By the way, as per my phonecall to you guys on Sunday morning - you're still in trouble for leading me to this site, I'm spending far too much time browsing in here!

Robyn, just as your theory about no food being too rich or too sweet, there is no such thing as spending too much time on this site. All time spent here is time well spent.

Thanks Lorna - I'll take that as permission to ignore the dust bunnies and keep browsing - suits me!

I'm keeping my eye on you Robyn (:

Ooh - not fair sneaking up on me like that, Rachel! I promise I'll attack the dust-bunnies forthwith and I vow and declare that no chocolate chip cookies have passed my lips (or landed on my hips!)

Robyn (PPP)

Greta (aged 10) made Michelles recipe this morning and I must have already eaten about 6 of them. They were all the better for adding chopped up couverture chocolate to the mixture instead of chocolate chips.
I do like condensed milk in my cc biscuits.
