53 Mondays - Week 32

Horribly late posting tonight and not really great looking. Rough week. Computer crashed on Thursday and I'm still recovering.

I had a friend, Hayley, visiting us this week, up from Vegas. She's 13 years old. Her parents are the ones who set up Justin and I on our first date. She's family to me and I'm so glad she's here. She wanted to make cookies the other night after seeing this recipe on line.

They made a lot of cookies, about 7 dozen, and since we didn't get started until about 9:30 p.m., it was very tiring. The general consensus was that they were pretty perfect! We made each batch a little different and had fun with them. Nothing disappointed.


The Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies
recipe and photo by Deals to Meals

5 ½ -6 c. flour
4 eggs
4 t. vanilla
¼ t. salt (if using unsalted butter use 1 tsp. salt)
3 t. soda
3 sticks real butter, softened (or 1 c. butter & 1/2 c. peanut butter for pb cookies)
1 c. white sugar
2 c. brown sugar

Beat softened butter, eggs, brown sugar and sugar until mixture is fluffy and light in color. Add rest. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. They should appear light in color and not browned on the edges. Next day, reheat in microwave 5 seconds to make gooey again.

Any combination of fillings work…(triple chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, cranberries & white chocolate, macadamia nuts, butterscotch and peanut butter chips etc..)
