Spiced chocolate chip cookie recipe.

[kiya]

Because meranthi asked and esprix just reminded me. Putting in rough metric conversions for those who would find those more sensible, though I don't think I'm using the paradigmatically correct ones since I know many folks do flour by weight. :}

1/4 pound butter (113.5 grams)
1/4 cup sugar (56 mL)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (2.5 mL)
1 tablespoon cream or milk (15 mL)
1 1/4 cups flour (281 mL)
1/8 teaspoon salt (about 1/2 mL)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder (about 1 mL)
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips (75 mL)
somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 teaspoon of cloves (2.5-4 mL)
somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon (2.5-4 mL)

Preheat oven to 350 F / 180 C. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, cream/milk, beat thoroughly. Separately mix the flour, salt, baking powder, spices. Blend dry ingredients thoroughly with wet ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets (I greased mine) with appropriate separation (about an inch). Bake for 8-10 minutes. Mine didn't spread out a lot, and browned neatly around the edges when done.

Haven't tested with flour substitutions. If anyone does, please let me know how it works. :}
