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!

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Well, its St. Patricks day... so I decided to try my hand at making corned beef and cabbage. I have never made it before but I was very very pleasently surprised with how it turned out. Corned beef is one of my husbands absolute favorite foods, and he says the way I cooked it was the best he has ever had. I also liked it, especially for my first time ever eating it. Here is how its done! Ingredients: Package of corned beef (you can get it at Walmart, Harmons, Smiths, most grocery stores) Salt Water 1 head of cabbage Instructions: (Now to make your own corned beef from scratch it literally takes 7-10 days to cure.. so that is why I (and most people) buy it packaged.) Take your corned beef and trim off a little bit of the fat on top. Me and my husband both have texture issues.. and it didn't seem to affect how moist the meat was. And honestly you can skip this step if it seems like too much of a pain, all the fat dissolved off anyways. Take a rack (I used a co...

Super Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies!

Ok now first off I have to say that this is not MY recipe. It is one I found on pinterest. It is by far my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe I have tried. The cookie dough doesn’t stay firm enough to press in the fork marks.. BUT they spread out and get huge and they are still nice and chewy without being gooey. I found the original recipe here  http://www.momtastic.com/cooking-recipes/dessert/164457-classic-peanut-butter-cookies Now.. on this website it looks like she was able to get the fork marks.. so I am not sure what I am doing that is so different.. maybe it is that I just dump all the ingredients in a bowl at the same time and don’t do dry and wet separate at first.. but oh well… this is how I do it :) Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda or maybe a tini bit more… which might be why mine spread out more 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 1/4 cup white sugar 1 cup softened butter (I do the “no no" and slightly soften in t...

Vincent eating a warhead

Ok... so I know I haven't posted on here in a while. I have been crazy crazy busy this month. I have dressed up in Halloween costumes on 6-7 different occasions along with 2 kids. And let me tell ya.. it takes all the energy out of you. This year my son FINALLY was a Hobbit and my girlie pie was a fairy princess! ANYWAYS... Tonight was Halloween and we did some trick or treating. At first when we went out my little (now 3 year old! He just had his birthday yesterday!) guy, he was so tired he started falling asleep while trick or treating. So I gave him an hour or so to get a second wind and took him out again. He got lots more candy and we came home once he was satisfied. He then preceded to take a nap (which I thought was bedtime) and he woke up at 11:30 at night. SO we are going to be up super super late. BUT it payed off because I got the best belly laugh I have EVER had. Out of all the candy he had in his bucket.. he decided to pick out the warhead. Now, if any of you hav...
