Lazy Days and Cookies



I spy 2 Auburn gnomes, Yoshi & Princess Peach

While I normally find myself buying the break&bake cookies for lack of time and effort, I decided to make chocolate chip cookies from scratch to eat during the super bowl. So on Saturday, I bought everything the recipe called for and headed to Kevin's apartment since  the dorm lacks an oven. After making these delicious cookies, we finished the day by playing some N64(You're talking to the reigning Mario Kart battle champion. Go Toad!) and watching The Social Network (which was surprisingly good). Anyways, here's the recipe in case you get in the mood to bake...
Basically the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever
Ingredients:
1 cup butter flavored Crisco (comes in packs of 3)
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs (room temperature)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups flour
1 12 oz pkg of semi-sweet chocolate chips (sometimes I only use 80% of the bag)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°
1. In a large bowl with a wooden spoon (no hand mixers allowed), cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. This can take about 3-4 min to do).
2. Stir in the eggs.
3. Add & mix well the vanilla, baking soda, and salt.
4. Add & mix in the flour.
5. Stir in chocolate chips (I usually use a little less than one bag)
Form large spoonfuls (about the size of a golf ball) onto an ungreased (light, not dark colored) cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 min.
