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!






Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookiesfrom the Essential Mormon Cookbook

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 (12 oz) bag chocolate chips

Cream together butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. In a separate bowl sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture and beat well. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop onto greased cookie sheet by heaping tablespoons (or roll into balls ). If using a baking stone, do not grease. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Makes about 3 dozen.
Tips:
1. Bake on a preheated baking stone for optimum crispiness.
2. I like these cookies best right out of the oven, so I usually freeze half the dough by rolling it into balls, placing the balls on a cookie sheet, and freezing until they are hard. Place the frozen balls in a zip-lock bag and save until your next cookie craving. When you are ready to bake, place the frozen cookies on a preheated baking sheet or stone and simply add about 2-3 minutes to the cooking time. Voila! Hot and yummy cookies in a snap!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
