Cookie Queen

My sweet girl and I made Chocolate Chip cookies yesterday. She really loves to stir...as you can see we are continually working on this skill!

I have to say I have the best recipe in the world for chocolate chip cookies. I know everyone probably says that but it's because they haven't tried my recipe! So here it is:

Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

4 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups softened butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 packages (3.4 oz.) instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
4 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, salt and baking soda. (My Sweet Girl took care of this for me) Set aside. Cream together butter and sugars, mixing until light and fluffy. Mix in instant pudding. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix to combine. Stir in flour mixture to combine. Add chocolate chips. Drop onto cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are brown.

I usually add less than the required amount of chocolate chips but that is just a personal preference...how weird is it that I prefer the cookie over the chip? This recipe bakes a HUGE amount of cookies. However I just send them away with my husband or to my neighbors and everyone is happy.




I also made the last of my turkey into Turkey and Noodle Soup yesterday. It's the best because I put it on at 10a.m. and kept it cooking on low heat all day long. This made the house spell fantastic and I got to hang out and bake cookies instead of thinking about dinner!



It is also worth mentioning that my husband's family has a wonderful way of eating their turkey and noodles. They put it in a bowl full of mashed potatoes! I thought it was so weird when I first ate it but damn it grows on you! It's now my favorite way to eat turkey and noodles. Thanks Jake's Mom!
