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!

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!

Lindt Truffle Chocolate Cupcakes

These cupcakes are beyond delicious!   Divine is how my sister Becky described them.  I served these at her Bridal Shower on Saturday and everybody loved them!  I honestly think they are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten .  I'm not the only one who had that opinion either :) These are a chocolate lovers dream.  Here's the rundown.  A Lindt Lindor truffle is baked in the center of a rich and very moist devils food cupcake.

Hawaiian Grilled Chicken

Since this chicken came into our lives, we have had it for many happy dinners.  I can't claim that every member of my family loves, or even likes, every meal I make, but this is an exception.  There are no complaints with this chicken.  So flavorful! I started out making this recipe with chicken breasts, but have since started making it with chicken thighs which are even more tender and juicy.  Either one works though.  You need to try this out before grilling season is over! I love to serve this with grilled pineapple and coconut rice (see note).  Such a perfect Summer meal!
