Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies


Today was one of those days where I just felt like I needed a freakin' chocolate chip cookie. After doing a bunch of research on what makes the best chocolate chip cookie.. and seeing about a million recipes... I came up with this deliciousness. They were getting eaten as I was setting them out to cool, I doubt there will be any left for me by the time I am done typing this. So I am going to hurry and get to the good stuff!

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup cold butter cut up and cubed
  • ¼ cup room temperature butter
  • ¾ cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups of all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp corn starch 
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. First you will want to take your cubed cold butter, room temperature butter, egg, extra egg yolk, and granulated sugar and mix it together for a bit until the chunks of cold butter start to get smaller and smaller. Once the chunks are about the size of half a pea you will want to add your brown sugar. Mix it at high speed for about 5 or so minutes until it begins to look  nice and creamy.












2. Next you will want to throw your flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt into a bowl and mix it together. Once you have done that you will want to slowly add it to your mixture of creamy butter and sugar. Mix it until it clumps together. Once it is mixed together you will want to mix in your cup of chocolate chips. I like to do this by hand with a spoon so it gets mixed more evenly and doesn't bump the chips up against the bowl.











By this point your delicious cookie dough should look like this! And yes.. I was having a very hard time not eating all of it out of the bowl...















3. Place your balls of cookie dough on a baking sheet and bake at 350° for 11-12 minutes.















4. When you pull them out of the oven they should look all puffed up like this and barely golden brown on the top. Let them cool for maybe a minute, and then place them on a cooling rack.














now... ENJOY! Thanks for reading!

Cheesy & Spicy Grilled Cajun Chicken

This is the recipe for the super yummy cajun chicken that I had with the roasted mashed potatoes. This chicken is nice and spicy, but is toned down a little with the cheese on top. So.. lets get down to business! Makes about 5 servings if each person has 2 pieces of chicken (yes yes I know in the picture there are 4 pieces on the plate.. I didn't finish it all because I was stuffed like a turkey) Ingredients: 10 thawed out chicken tenderloins 1 Tbsp olive oil 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning 1 tsp sea salt 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Instructions: Take your thawed out chicken and place it in a bowl.
