I love making cookies...and eating them (so I try not to do it very often). However, I really struggle making chocolate chip cookies. They should be easy, but for some reason mine never turn out. Other cookies work great...but chocolate chip...I just don't get it.
Last week I was looking at cooking blogs, and I found a post where Joy the Baker talked about using a wooden spoon to mix her chocolate chip cookies because it is easy to over mix them with the mixer. "Ah Ha" I thought---maybe that is my problem.
Then I pulled up the chocolate chip cookie recipe I have been wanting to make from Deals to Meals. According to the site it is a "fabulous, no fail, chocolate chip recipe." I decided that is the one I was going to try.
So, I pulled out my mixing bowl and wooden spoon. I also got out another bowl and spoon for Adysen so she could help me cook (since she showed me that she can make enchiladas on Sunday...see my earlier post). And we mixed up some cookies.
I gave Adysen one chocolate chip to try. She must have liked it because while I was trying to take a picture...this is what I found (notice the cookie in the corner):
The cookies turned out pretty good. I think the spoon definitely helped...but maybe next time I will use my Kitchen Aid and just not mix them for very long. :)

Mmm cookies! Very cute! I prefer to make no bakes, since I'm a baking disaster waiting to happen. Hee!
We sure miss you guys, it looks like you are having a lot of fun and Adysen is also having fun in the kitchen. I can relate. I can't make cookies very often or I eat them all.
It is so fun to see all your new pics on the blog....Adysen is sure growing up. How fun! Can't what to get to spend some time with all of you again! Love you! Mom
PS: I can't remember my log-in!
Haha! I love that little chipless cookie, and the little lady with the chocolate covered teeth! :)
