A couple of months ago, Elizabeth from www.glutenfreebaking.com, announced that she was hosting a gluten free recipe contest. I decided to enter several recipes, but the first one I entered was for my original chocolate chip cookies.I had actually forgotten about the contest and there were SO many entries (hundreds, apparently!) that I thought I really didn't have much of a chance to win.But earl
Okay. I will admit it. When it comes to baking, I am a perfectionist. Especially when it comes to baking something that I think I am especially good at. In today's case: Michael's favorite chocolate chip cookies. This is one of my favorite recipes and one that I am very proud of. I used to make these cookies with wheat flour. When I started the gluten free diet this is one of the first recipes I c
Yesterday, as I was packing my lunch for work, I threw in a Ziploc bag full of chocolate chip cookies. I had purchased a tub of the soft, silver dollar-sized cookies from the market last week, and thought they would bridge the Hunger Gap between lunch and when I leave for the day. This gap is normally bridged by either a Twix or vending machine egg salad, both of which usually lead to me spending the better part of the afternoon on the toilet.I have a tender tummy.I'm typically a creature of habit when it comes to my meals, but I've been taking strides to not eat out for lunch so much, as it's bankrupting me and making me heart attack-y and chubby (I'm this close to having to buy Medium-sized shirts). I needed to find a way to spice up my lunchtime routine, and the Ziploc bag full of choco

Whether its a special occasion, a holiday celebration, or just a desire to gaze a a jar full of cookies, these tiny treats are a neat way to watch your calories without giving up your cravings! But ask 10 people what's their favorite cookie recipe and 9 out of those 10 would unsurprisingly say "Chocolate Chip Cookies"!! As a matter of fact, they seem to be my favorites too, and I've been trying to master the recipe for those perfect chocolate-chip cookies which are fat and chewy, rich and gooey, and baked to a golden-brown color. Looks like I have finally found what I sought - thi

Today I received a package in the mail of products to test out and review. They were from Vat19.com. This site has many great fun items if the three I received were any indication of what they have available. I received some Insta Snow Fake Snow Powder (I am going to save that for a practical joke at work and video that.). I also received some Color Flames Colored Candles that have colored flames. Those look like they will be fun at the next birthday party. I will have to try one of them soon too. Who’s birthday is coming up next. And the third item I received made me thing that maybe I had received some chocolate chip cookies in the mail was 1 Smencils Gourmet Scented Pencil. My Smencil was obviously chocolate scented and I really shouldn’t have used it to write the shopping list for the week as I ended up just listing things like, brownies, chocolate kisses and chocolate chip cookies.
The Smencil is a good idea for a few reasons. First of all they are made from recycled
The chocolate chip cookie is truly an American classic and a staple in just about any food or baking blog. For most recipes I usually look for similar recipes on other blogs, but for this recipe, what’s the point?
One of my favorite geology professors, Gerry Weber, liked to say, “All food is good, some is better”. He was also once overheard saying, “Don’t ever give cookies to stoners. They don’t appreciate them, they just eat ‘em.” Are all cookies good?
To the contrary: when you think of all the home made chocolate chip cookies you have had in your life, you realize that some people can really screw them up. In the last 30 years of making cookies I have probably made this recipe more than any other cookie, but I actually believe that the chocolate chip cookie is one of the more challenging cookies I have on my site.
For years I made this with a Sunbeam Mixmaster with no issues. Then, 12 years ago, my wife bought me my dream machine: a lim
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
3 drops (or more to taste) of key lime juice
1-12 oz package Nestle’s white morsels
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated and
brown sugars, and vanilla in large mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs and
the lime oil. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in white chocolate morsels.
Drop by well-rounded teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet or stone. Bake at 350
degrees for 9-12 minutes. I take them out early and always smack the cookies
flat when they come out of the oven.
Allow cookies to cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Makes approximately 3-4 dozen cookies.
Cream 125g sugar with 175g brown sugar. Beat until fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon milk and 1 egg and beat it well. Add 175g plain flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder and beat to combine. Break 200g plain chocolate in little chunks and spoon it into the batter. Line a tray with baking paper and drop 1 tablespoon batter on the tray. Leave about 3 cm space between the cookies. Place the tray into a preheated oven 160C (fan) for about 20 minutes. Get the cookies out of the oven and place the cookies on a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!
... Did I mention it's raining? Whenever it rains in my part of California, I get homesick for Chicago. I guess it's because I miss the seasons (the change in weather dictating the season to come). When I get home sick I bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies and feel a little a better. Nothing screams home like a plate of cookies and an ice cold glass of milk! The cookies are for all the "transplants" who are homesick, there just like mom's! Enjoy!The recipe I use is exactly like the one on the bag with two exceptions: 1) I add an extra 1/2 cup of flour, 2) an extra cup of chocolate chips.
