COOKIES

I made chocolate chip cookies using a recipe from one of my favorite blogs, Clover Lane.  The cookies came out great, but you don't have to take my word for it:

Here is the recipe:
1 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips

In a large bowl cream together butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients.  Mix well.  Add chocolate chips.  I put the dough in the fridge for about 2 hours.

I wanted to make large cookies, so I used my ice cream scooper to measure and scooped dough onto parchment covered cookie sheets.  I flattened each cookie a little before baking.

Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes (keep in mind my oven is fast).  Cool before removing from sheets.


I sent R next door with cookies for the neighbors because we have had more than enough sweets around here lately, and she is always over there playing, so the least we can do is send over some cookies!
