Delightfully decadent chocolate chip cookies

Since I can't post any pictures I thought I'd give you my newly made up recipe for chocolate chip cookies instead. I know, it's a bit of a let down, but trust me: these guys are good. Knitters rely on quick, easy snacks to keep up their energy without taking too much time away from knitting. The fact that the chocolate chips keep their shape means no messy fingers to soil your yarn. And the fact that they're chewy means no crumbs in that adorable little intarsia baby sweater. So without further ado:

Delightfully decadent chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients:
1 cup of butter (this is where the decadent part kicks in)
2 cups of flour
2 large eggs
0.75 cup of tightly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of baking powder
2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of salt
1.5 cup of chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan, be careful not to brown it, and stir in the sugar until it is a melted gooey liquid. Pour in a large bowl and one by one add the eggs. Stir vigorously for a minute or so. Add the vanilla extract and the honey and stir again. Add the flour and baking powder, stir until mixed well and then toss in as many chocolate chips as you like. I put 1.5 cup in the recipe for those of us that know restraint, but for the rest of us: go nuts. They need to have at least a shred of dough attached to them, so don't go overboard. However, if the mixture seems to be two thirds chocolate and one third dough, you're good. (Kudos on your arm strength if you can actually still stir it by that point.)
Stick the bowl in the fridge for about 20 minutes to give the dough a chance to set a bit, and here's an old baker's trick for you: put the cookie sheets in the fridge as well. Cookies tend to burn on the bottom, and for some reason the cooled cookie sheets prevent that. Neat huh?
Form little balls of about an inch to an inch and a half and place them on the cookie sheet about two inches apart. (Or you can do as I do, just scoop up gobs of dough that look a decent size and put them willy-nilly on the cookie sheet. Go with what feels good, I always say.)
Bake for 10 minutes. If you like your cookies a little more crunchy, give them another minute or two.
And there you have it... delightfully decadent chocolate cookies. And yes, it is perfectly reasonable for you to stick them in a cookie tin labeled "healthy granola bars" to throw off your kids and spouse, and keep them all to yourselves. Enjoy!
