Chocolate Chip Cookies



I think we need a treat, so here is a great recipe for chocolate chip cookies. I know it seems like there are 100's out there, but this one is really good. This recipe comes from Sandi Garrett, an amazing cook here in Colorado whom I admire with all my heart! This cookie can be warmed in the microwave the next day and it tastes just like it came out of the oven. Grab a gallon of milk and enjoy a warm cookie!





Sandi Garrett's Chocolate Cookies

Mix together until creamy:
1 pound of real butter, soften to room temperature
1 ½ c. sugar
2 c. brown sugar

Add:
3 eggs
2 Tablespoons real vanilla

In a separate bowl, stir up the following:
6 c. flour
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
Add this mixture to the creamy mixture and beat well.
Add 2 packages, 11.5 oz. each of milk chocolate chips (or semi-sweet if you prefer). You can also add 2 cups of chopped nuts.

Using an icream scoop that is 2 ¼ or 2 ½ inches across, place 9-12 balls of cookie dough on pam sprayed or parchment lined cookie sheet.

Bake 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees, or in a convection oven bake for 16 min at 340 degrees. You will know when the cookies are done by gently lifting up the edge of the cookie and noticing if the underneath side of the cookie is barely golden brown. The upper part of the cookie may not look done, but that is OK. Do not overbake, or they will be hard. As soon as you take the cookies out of the oven, drop the cookie sheet onto the counter, hard, to flatten the cookies. Let the cookies sit for a minute or so and remove to a cooling rack.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
