I have made these cookies twice and they haven't disappointed so I'm sharing them.
They are amazing fresh from the oven. Chewy, soft cookies that go great with a glass of milk. Ingredients 2/3c. butter, softened 2/3c. packed brown sugar 1/2c. granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 egg yolks 1 1/2c. flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon corn starch 2/3c. mini chocolate chips Directions Make sure your butter IS softened. What I did was leave a tub of butter out on the counter all day so my butter was softened and at room temp. If you didn't leave your butter out all day and you're working with cold butter, just place it in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 10 second increments until the butter is softened, not melted. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt and vanilla to the softened butter. Using a whisk, cream together until smooth. Add egg yolks, one at a time, mixing thoroughly in between. Add the flour, baking soda and corn starch to the creamed mixture. Mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until a dough begins to form. Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula (or silicon, whichever). Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Drop the cookie dough by the spoonful onto the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, more or less... it really does depend on how big of a cookie dough dollop you dropped and how big you wanted your cookies. Obviously, the larger the cookie, the longer the bake time. I turned my pan about 8 minutes in. After you remove the cookies from the oven, let them rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes then remove them. Enjoy.

Wow, that sounds pretty cocky. I tend to get in my feelings pretty often and I have to find ways to cope with it. My sister in law has written and published a book and my sister just mentioned writing a book, herself, a memoir. Here they are doing the damn thing and I'm just here watching them. Do not get me wrong at all, I fully support them both and have given them plenty of encouragement and advice. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel some type of way about this. Jealous? Yes, there was definitely some jealous feeling but it was more than that. Like, a disappointment, a disappointing feeling in myself. I have had this dream longer than they have, yet, they are in motion and I'm stagnant. Then, my 9 year old started writing stories, she's writing books. That's when I realized that while I might be feeing jealous, I might be an inspiration. My daughter is writing books because she knows that I write, and that I'm writing a book and have been for as long as she's existed. I have inspired her to write. I have given her the dream of writing, the ability to create a story and that feeling is so much better than jealousy. Perhaps, I'm not the reason why others in my life are deciding to pursue writing, but I'd much rather feel like an inspiration over feeling jealous. I really do hope that any and every one that ever attempts to become a writer, does. I hope you can make all your dreams a reality and have a fucking wonderful story to tell! |
