It never occurred to me that I could bake a cobbler in my slow cooker until I saw some recipes and decided to try my favorite fruity dessert recipe.  It took a bit of experimenting, but the tasty results are “berry” well worth it.

Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies

Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies

About 8 years ago (2004), Mike came home with a recipe for Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies.  His friend, Glen Corbett, gave him the recipe, and said that his wife (Ann Marie) thought that I might want to give it a try.  Ann Marie said that she was reading a book, and it had recipes in the book, and she thought that this one sounded pretty good.  Well, I did also, and the cookies were really good.  So thank you, Ann Marie.

Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies Recipe

 

Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies

1 cup butter, melted

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. vanilla

2 beaten eggs (use a fork to beat the eggs)

2 ½ cups flour

2 cups crushed corn flakes (crush them with your hands)

1 ½ cups chocolate chips

Melt butter, and add the sugars and stir.  Add soda, salt, vanilla, and beaten eggs; mix well.  Then add flour and mix it in.  Add crushed corn flakes and chocolate chips; mix thoroughly.

Form dough into walnut-sized balls with your fingers and place on a greased cookie sheet, 12 to a standard sheet.  Press them down with floured or greased fork in a crisscross pattern (the same method as peanut butter cookies).

Bake at 375F. for 10 minutes.  Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack until completely cool.  The rack is important – it makes them crisp.

(Recipe for the Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies came from Ann Marie Corbett, 2004)
