Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Butter (113 gms @ room temp)

• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar (I used soft light brown sugar with sand like texture)
• 1/3 cup Buttermilk (@ room temp, refer notes for substitution)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
• 1.5 cups All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Cream together butter and sugars. Add the vanilla essence and buttermilk and beat until creamy. Mix flour, baking soda and salt. Add the sifted flour to the butter mixture and fold.

2. 2

   Add the chips and raisins or nuts, if using (refer notes). Mix well. Refrigerate for 1hour.

3. 3

   Preheat oven to 175C. Make small lemon sized balls out of the dough and place 2" apart on a butter paper lined baking tray. Flatten each ball slightly with your hands.
