The Classic

So, I had a fabulous weekend, nothing amazing happened...well wait yes something amazing did happen, my husband was home for three days people(with a couple hours on Saturday at work). That is a miracle and something we truly appreciate. We didn't do a ton, we went to the this rockin' library, got some books for us all. Had a picnic on Sunday, took a nap, nice things that we don't get to do together very often. Well, with the weekend comes baking...I love it! I can't help it and that's probably why I've put on weight and the fact we moved to the south, lack of sidewalks....that's another blog another time. So, there's this blog, and its great, great recipes, so far I've made the bread sticks, garlic bread(we had the missionaries over and tested it out on them) seasoning and the chocolate chip cookies the link to the blog is this: http://www.the-daily-bite.blogspot.com/
And here is the recipe for


The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever
½ c. butter
½ c. high-quality tub margarine (like Smart Balance)
¾ c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. flour
¾ tsp. salt
¾ tsp. baking soda
1 12-oz. bag chocolate chips

Cream together butter, margarine, 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.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Naturally, you want to keep an eye on them because every oven is different. Mine took 9 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen.
