The Original Toll House Chocolate Cookies from the famous New England Inn

 That's what this antique recipe is titled. It came in a old recipe box I bought from an antique store. 

It calls for semi-sweet chocolate bars to be cut into pieces the size of a pea- so before chocolate chips were a thing. It appears to be from the 1930s since Nestle started selling "morsels" (chips) in their own bags in 1939. Regardless, they were some of the best chocolate chip cookies I have had in a while so its a recipe worth keeping!

Cream together

1 c butter, room temperature

3/4 c brown sugar

3/4 c baking sugar (unbleached has better flavor and sandiness)

2 eggs, BEATEN, before adding to mixture


Separately

Dissolve 1 t baking soda in 1 tsp of hot water. 

Combine 2 1/4 c SIFTED flour with 1 t of salt.

Now add the above mixtures to the creamed ingredients.

Add 4-5 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips

(1 c chopped walnuts were optional) 

Add 1 t vanilla and mix well.


Drop by tablespoons onto greased, parchment paper or silpat baking sheet

Bake 10 minutes in 375 degree oven.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.
