Vanessa's Choc Chip Cookies

OK so i get home from a church meeting on Sunday night, (it was the first time i left the baby by the way for 5 almost 6 hours) and i find out that my 12 year old son has made some delicious choc chip cookies. I knew we didn't have any choc chips left but when i put one of these beauties in my mouth i knew instantly what he used, Mars Bars!!! At the moment we have an abundance of the caramel chocolate bars and what a great idea. He chopped them up roughly and then added them to the mix like he would the choc chips. Soooo i thought i would share the recipe we use as it is quite coveted around these parts. Jacksons turned out a little more cakey then mine do, but that's ok we just need to have a few more lessons on how to measure for baking, because it is a science you know!!. We call them Vanessa's Choc Chip Cookies but you can call them the best you're ever had or whatever : )

Vanessa's Choc Chip Cookies

1 cup melted butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 2/3 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of choc chips
(we normally just put whatever we like in)
My mum uses nut raisins whatever.

Mix melted butter and sugar then add the eggs mix well. Add other ingredients if you like more cakey cookies then add 2tbs more flour at this point. I suggest making them by the recipe first and then modify as you like. Roll into balls and bake in a preheated 180'C oven for 7-10 mins. My husband and children like them hot from the oven with milk or milo mmmmm enjoy people we do quite often.
