Marbles

I made good cookies yesterday and thought you (especially Mom) might want the recipe. It's a Mrs. Fields recipe from an old book that I have.Very easy and a little different from the ordinary standbys that we usually make (chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter, molasses, chocolate crinkle, and snicker doodles).

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar (I used dark brown cause it's all we had)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 stick softened butter
1 large egg
4 ounces sour cream (1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 ounces (1 cup) chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 300F.
Combine first three dry ingrediants and set aside.
Cream sugars and butter. Add egg, sour cream and vanilla and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add flour. Do not over mix.
Melt chips in the microwave. Pour over cookie batter. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, lightly fold in the melted chocolate to create a swirled, marbleized pattern.
Drop by rounded tablespoons, 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 20 minutes. Do not brown.

I think they are best right out of the oven. Otherwise, we like to heat them up in the microwave for a few seconds. These cookies are very good for my health right now, because they cause me to drink lots of milk, and the baby needs calcium. =-)
