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. :}

O domesticated one, what do I put in cider to make mulled cider? I have always just thrown in whatever spices happened to be around (with occasionally dire results), but is there a canonical version? And if you're taking manners questions, is it wrong to attempt to use one's cinnamon stick as a straw? Even if it tastes better that way?

I believe the traditional stuff is in the cloves/nutmeg/ginger/cinnamon/allspice corner of things people do. So those, or whatever you think might work with them.

And goodness, I wouldn't know. :}
