If 'N' Cookies

This is a name my mother came up with for the basic chocolate chip recipe - when someone (probably me) had eaten all the chocolate chips. In 'n' she had all the right ingredients, it would've been....

1/2 C. each brown and granulated sugar
1 stick margarine (or 1/2 stick margarine and 1/4 C. unsweetened applesauce)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda dissolved in 1 T. hot water
2 1/2 C. flour

Preheat oven to 375.

In large mixing bowl, combine sugars, margarine (unsweetened applesauce). Stir in remaining ingredients individually, mixing well before adding the next ingredient.

Drop by rounded spoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes, longer for a crunchy cookie.
Yield: 24-30 cookies
