chocolate chip deluxe cookies.

Who doesn't like a good cookie with his hot beverage?
I love cookies even with no milk/tea/coffee.

Some time ago a friend gave me a recipe for a basic cookie dough,that can be used for so many different kind of cookies.
I tried a lot of different ingredients,but the following recipe is one of my favorite.
And the best part of this recipe is,that it is so easy and fast.
The dough doesn't need cooling,rising,or setting.

Here is the basic dough recipe
200 gr Butter
150 gr sugar
1 egg
325 gr all purpose flour
100 gr corn starch
a pinch of salt

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl with your hands and knead a dough.
Additional I added :
200 gr dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla syrup
1 teaspoon cognac
a pinch of cinnamon
and caramelized oats (you take a pan with a few drops of oil and you put like 5-8 tablespoons of rolled/old fashioned oats in it.
Sprinkle the oats with 3 tablespoons caster sugar.On medium heat you let the sugar melt and caramelize.Don't forget to constantly stir!!!!!!)

Knead the additional ingredients into the dough.
Now you can shape your cookies.
Put them on an oven tray with baking paper and bake them for 12-18 min depending on the thickness.

You can basically add anything you like to the basic dough: dehydrated fruit,cornflakes,raisin,chopped/toasted nuts,lemon zest,orange zest,amaretto( yum!),whole grain flour,bananas etc..........
