Anyway, the drive home friday was an adventure, very thankfully my car (her name is iceskate) she has all wheel drive AND snow tires, both which I was so thankful for this weekend/ this morning. Yeah the roads STILL suck this morning. Since the gym closed friday due to snow I was left with no other option than to be a hermit friday night, and bake and crochet all night!!! WOOOHOOO (ok am I seriously an old woman... it's ok you can tell me :) )
One of the things I baked this weekend were some very thin crisp butter laden chocolate chip cookies.
(wait what??? butter??)
Yes, they were for John's neighbor, the big dude who I really don't like
(then why bake him cookies)
good question, because he has a snow blower and cleared off john's walkways and driveway all weekend long... for this, he gets cookies. Plus it's always good to bribe the guy with the snowblower, so hopefully he'll keep doing it all winter long... no shoveling for us! woohoo!
The cookies spread like mad so make sure to space these bad boys out. They can out totally flat and crisp/chewy, YUM. Eat with caution, these things are NOT good for you.
Crispy chewy chocolate chip cookies
1 3/4 cup white flour (seriously i used white flour NO WAY!)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 stick (8 Tbs) butter (softened)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 pound chocolate chips
WHISK flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
CREAM butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes. Add egg. Stir in the vanilla.
MIX in dry ingredients (my dough was a little too dry so I added a little milk in)
preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake about 15 minutes (more for really crispy)
CHOW! and be prepared to get fat :)
