This post goes along with my "Biggest Loser" post from yesterday. What? You didn't read that one? Well, basically it talked about how I haven't lost a pound even though I've been working out 3 times a week for 5 weeks now. I wonder why that is??? Anywho...on to the show...
Here's a yummy new recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies that I tried out last night. Joey thought they tasted "fruity" but I think it was the hefty dose of vanilla that is in them (yum!). I thought they were great! I'm just tired of the flat Tollhouse ones that I usually make. I wanted cookies with a bit more "puff" if ya know what I mean :) (No MJ is in these, I swear...) I read that if your cookies are flat, they need more flour - just FYI. This recipe was a bit labor intensive - you mix all the ingredients by hand instead of in a mixer - but I thought they were worth it.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 C butter, softened
1/2 C sugar
3/4 C brown sugar, lightly packed
2 eggs
1 Tbs. vanilla
2 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 C chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350.
In a medium bowl with a wooden spoon, cream butter and sugars.
Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
Sift flour, baking soda and salt, then add to creamed mixture.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheet.
Bake 9-11 minutes.
Enjoy! (And eat an extra cookie because of the bicep workout you just received ;)

I have been craving home made Ch. Chip cookies lately. You must have read my mind. I need to make a batch, eat two and then send the rest to work with Brad. Before he finds me in the pantry with chocolate on my face saying "Cookies, what cookies?!?!"
Guaranteed you are gaining muscle and loosing fat. Net zero change on the scale, but nice change when you button up your pants. At least that is what I always tell myself when I am in that situation. :)
And homemade anything is always worth breaking a diet. :)
You are so not helping my weight loss efforts. I have been HORRIBLE this week...I have this stupid cold and I haven't worked out the past three days. Throw in the fact that I haven't felt well enough to cook (frozen pizza on Tues, pancakes and turkey bacon on Wed, and KFC on Thurs) and I'm sinking!!
You and your darned cookie posts!!!
p.s. I think you need to take a little drive to Ogden for a little complimentary photo session....there are some tutu's here waiting for some darling girls to twirl them!
