Chocolate Chippie Cookies

So, after years of trying to find a recipe of chocolate chip cookies that don't go flat, I finally found one via Pinterest.  Here's the blog I found it on http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2013/05/13/chewy-chocolate-chunk-cookies/.  But I want to try this whole cooking blog thing (not that I have a lot of free time with which to do so).  So I'm stealing this recipe to start with.  :)  These cookies are quite tasty and easy to make.  I also like this recipe because you don't need a mixer to make them.

I forgot to put the Baking Soda in this picture, but here are the ingredients.  :)
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 light brown sugar, loosely packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg and 1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

So, mix up the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt) and set aside.  In a smaller bowl, melt the butter in the microwave (this is how I did it anyway).  Add the brown and granulated sugar to the melted butter and mix up well with a fork or a whisk.  I don't really like whisks, I feel like the ingredients are hard to get off of them so I use a fork.  So, you whisk or fork-stir this until any brown sugar clumps are dissolved.  Then add in the egg and stir up, and then the egg yolk and mix. Add two teaspoons of Vanilla Extract Should look kinda like this before you mix it in:
 Then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients:
Stir together.  The dough will be a little sticky.
Add chocolate chips.  I used Ghirardelli chips.  I'm kind of a chocolate snob, though.  Also, the original recipe called for chunks, but the first time I made these, I make them with chunks and they weren't chocolatey enough for me (or anyone else).
After everything is mixed together, cover with saran wrap and chill for an hour.  This is mandatory (according to the original recipe).

So now, take it out of the fridge, and let it sit for about ten minutes so it's not too cold to handle.  Roll bits of dough into balls.  I just wing this part.  The recipe says 3 tablespoons worth of dough, but I just wing it, and the same baking time worked regardless.  I'm too lazy to measure out balls of dough.

Oh, line the cookie sheets with parchment paper.  And bake this at 325 degrees for 11 minutes.  They come out puffy... but they'll bake a bit more on the sheet.
This batch yielded 24 cookies, but that's partly b/c I ate some of the dough b/c it's yummy, okay?

Wreathing

I have sent mini wreaths to a friend that lives in Texas for her cubicle.  A cubicle should be defined as a depressed 3 1/2 walled corporate wasteland.  I realized recently that I've sent her one for Christmas, summertime, fall,  and spring but I haven't sent her a Valentine's Day wreath.  Stay tuned for when I do a flag wreath for her, which is one of my favorites to make. Here are the supplies.  I had all of this yarn here already, I think I got it all at Pat Catan's, which is where I purchased the heart shaped mini wreath.  I got the XOXO sign at Pat Catan's as well.  One thing nice about these mini wreaths is that I haven't had to hand make the decorations for them. Pat Catan's usually has something in their seasonal section that I can use, which is nice. I decided that I didn't want to do a monotone wreath, I wanted to use more than one color.  I started out with the idea of doing a chevron stripe across the wreath, but I couldn't find ...

Here are the supplies you'll need for this wreath.  One 14 inch wire wreath which you can get at Pat Catans, 2 boxes of 100 ct LED lights.  You can pick out your own light types... but these ones are the coolest. Here are two cute photo bombers who wouldn't look at the camera. Bella Dog Abby Cat  This should be a given, but make sure to test the lights.  I bought these lights at Kmart on clearance just after Christmas.  I'm kind of bummed because I didn't realize they were smaller than the ones I used in the original wreath I made that got a lot of feed back, but it turns out pretty cute anyway.   Yay! They work! Magic button control thingy Press the button to change white lights to colored lights or make them alternate. I really love white lights.  That's just me.  But I know a lot of people prefer colored lights.  My grandma had a white Christmas tree with red shiny bulbs on it, and I have ...

My favorite things (aka my product endorsements)

 So, I feel like doing a "favorite things" post, a la Oprah without the free giveaways (sorry). First off:  Chocolate.  I have become a chocolate snob.  I am no longer a fan of Hershey's or any of those common chocolate bars you can get anywhere.  I want Ghirardelli.  In fact, I have figured out that I'm not a fan of Nestle products either.  I've been baking a lot of the chocolate chip cookie recipe I posted awhile back, and I've found that the cookies made with Ghirardelli Semi sweet chocolate chips are just plain better. I have actually been to Ghirardelli square, though I've never taken the tour.  They do have a fabulous ice cream shop, and it's a favorite of my family to visit when we're there together. I do, however, have a close 2nd favorite, which I generally buy because it's cheaper, and you get more in a bag for the price... and that is....  A friend of mine back in the 00's turned me onto Dove Promises, and those prom...
