So - I'm very fortunate that every Wednesday I get to work from home. That means I get to sleep in an extra hour, stay in my jammies for most the day, and work from the comfort of my cushy sofa! I get to put my hair in a ponytail and forego the make up. It also allows me time to be very domestic and cook a nice meal for my little family. Today I decided to cook a macaroni casserole (it's a favorite of my boys) Then, as the afternoon progressed, I was feeingl a bit June Cleaver-ish, and thought I'd make cookies for my little boy before he got home from school (well, he's 13, but he's my youngest so he'll always be my little boy). Needless to say he was more than pleased to come home right as I was pulling them out of the oven. He screamed "thanks mommy!" Then begged me to let him lick the spoon ;) - what kind of mom would deny their child the joy of licking the spoon? Anyway, I've been trying to figure out what I did differently this time when making my cookies. It's the standard Tollhouse(R) Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe found on the back of the package. I always use real butter - shortbread and margarine are not allowed in my cookies! But they came out so perfect. They were crispy around the edges, and soft and chewy in the middle...yummmm - had to limit myself, and finally stopped after 3 ;) (avoiding the scale tomorrow!!)
