Oh how I love love love Chocolate chip cookies. I am a chocolate chip cookie-a-holic.
I am going through withdrawls. I have been on this diet this year, and I've done pretty good, (except at the super bowl party - I pigged out).
But I really miss these little guys. It hurts to even look at this picture.
I made these cookies back in December when I was eating what ever I wanted and thought they looked sooo good, so I took a picture.
I got this recipe from my friend Wendy, who got it from her sister, who got it from her visiting teacher. It is just the perfect cookie and it makes about 4 dozen. Back when I was eating cookies, I would make a dozen, then refrigerate the rest and then make the rest over the rest of the week. Oh my gosh they are soooo good right out of the oven. MMM MMM gooood. (thanks Wendy, we miss you)
Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 C. butter flavored shortening
1/2 C. softened butter
3/4 C. sugar
3/4 C. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 & 2/3 C. flour
1 bag of chocolate chips
(I like milk chocolate chips best)
Cream the shortening and butter together really well. Then add both sugars and cream together really well. Then add vanilla and eggs one at a time and cream really well.
In separate bowl mix salt, baking soda, and flour. Add dry mix to cream mix, slowly. Stir in chocolate chips.
Bake at 375 for 9 to 10 minutes. Take directly off pan onto cooling rack.

You're so cute... having a whole post dedicated to cookies. Although if they were peanut butter with milk choc. chips on top, I could probably do the same. The recipe looks so yummy. I'm a believer in the milk choc. too, as I said. So, not that I think that you need to be on a diet, but have you heard of the book "The Good Mood Diet" I'm not a big believer in diets that are super depriving and this one is all about balance. It's really logical, the approach and I've definitely noticed an increase in energy and better mood since applying some of its principles. Sorry if that seems rude or assuming. I just think that any diet that doesn't allow you to eat choc. chip cookies once in a while, sucks! Take care!
