Chocolate Chip Cookies

Because it’s Friday, and I’m not cooking, and so you won’t have to scroll through my whole @kristinandrus feed of my kids to find the recipe! 1 C butter- barely softened 1/2 C white sugar 1 C brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 3 C flour 3/4 tsp salt 3/4 tsp baking soda 10 oz really good chocolate chips *I suggest doubling the recipe and adding one bag of milk chocolate, one bag of semi sweet and some butterscotch chips if you’re feeling crazy! Cream butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla together really well. Add flour, salt, baking soda to creamed mixture and blend together only until combined (don’t overbeat). Hand stir chocolate chips into dough. Put balls of dough onto baking sheet and bake at 375 for about 7 to 9 minutes. They are done when starting to get golden brown on the outside but still pretty gooey on the inside. (My secret to the gooey inside, is to refrigerate the balls of dough before they go in the oven).

Shopping Fuel

Serious shopping fuel with my bride-to-be sister today! I haven’t found bai5 bubbles anywhere and then hit the jackpot with GUAVA and PEAR! Two new favorites. And Carol’s Colossal Cookies are a must.  . ETC. I’ve settled for bai5 juice lately and it just doesn’t do it for me (not worth the money). And Carol’s cookies are an all natural 1/2 lb delicious cookie you can also buy online if you don’t have a Bristol Farms by you. I love them for hostess gifts or just because gifts and my favorite is sticking one in my purse to share after going out to dinner.
