Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
An easy Bisquick chocolate chip cookie recipe
* 1/4 cup butter, softened
* 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
* 1 egg
* 1 1/3 cup Bisquick
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
* 1 package (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, or 1 cup other chopped sweet or semisweet chocolate
Mix butter, sugar, and egg. Stir in Bisquick, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips or chunks. Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for about 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Makes about 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies.
1555, a partially deformed adoptation from Spanish huracan, furacan, from an Arawakan (W. Indies) word. In Portugal, it became furacão. Confusion of initial h- and f- common in Spanish in these years...
...OED records some 39 different spellings, mostly from the late 16c., including forcane, herrycano, harrycain, hurlecane. Modern form became frequent from 1650, established after 1688. Shakespeare uses hurricano ("King Lear," "Troilus and Cressida"), but in reference to waterspouts.
the modern word represents a coincidence and convergence of at least two unrelated words of similar sound and sense. Tiphon "violent storm, whirlwind, tornado" is recorded from 1555, from Gk. typhon "whirlwind," personified as a giant, father of the winds, perhaps from typhein "to smoke."
The meaning "cyclone, violent hurricane of India or the China Seas" (1588) is first recorded in T. Hickock's translation of an account in Italian of a voyage to the East Indies by Cæsar Frederick, a merchant of Venice, probably borrowed from, or infl. by, Chinese (Cantonese) tai fung [颱風] "a great wind," from tu "big" + feng "wind;" name given to violent cyclonic storms in the China seas.
A third possibility is tufan, a word in Arabic, Persian and Hindi meaning "big cyclonic storm" (and the source of Port. tufao), which may be from Gk. typhon but commonly is said to be a noun of action from Arabic tafa "to turn round."
