Cookies

So earlier today I was craving cookies, so being the fat guy that I am I decided to make a batch. And a friend of mine gave me a recipe that involved disolving the baking soda in hot water, which I had never tried before so I used his recipe for cookies. So here we go.



3/4 cup Sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons Hot water
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
I used 3 cups of chips But if you wanted you could go with 2 cups of chips and 1 cup of chopped nuts.

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F
Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy
add egg
Mix hot water and baking soda, add to butter sugar mixture
Then add Vanilla
Add flour and salt then combine
Mix in chips
Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown

I should also mention I use a mix of chips. I have Dark and milk chocolate chunks, as well as milk chocolate, white chocolate and peanutbutter chips.

This batch doesn't spread like most cookies but they stay tall and fluffy. Very delicious

Newtown, CT

    My thoughts and prayers are with my fellow residents of Connecticut in the city of Newtown tonight, and everyone who may have been effected by this mornings tragedy. It is never an easy thing to lose someone, and when they are as young as 8 and 10, it is an absolute tragedy. There are no words that can express the grief of the parents, and these families.


It is my hope that where ever you are reading this, that you take a moment of your time to offer a prayer, or send some healing energy to the families of those effected.

Thank you for you time.

As always,
             Doug
