Cookies!

My sister make the best chocolate chip cookies. I know every body thinks they have found the best ones, or they're still looking. But, these are seriously the best.


The only thing you have to decide is, do you like yours krispy or gooey?

Slightly adapted from 'Betty Crocker's Best of Baking'

1\2 cup granulated sugar
1\2 cup packed brown sugar
1\3 cup butter, softened
1\3 cup shortening
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1\2 heaping cups all-purpose-flour
1\2 teaspoon baking soda
1\2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces chocolate chips

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix sugars, margarine, shortening, egg and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 4 minutes turn and bake for f4 more minutes (we like ours gooey.) Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet. Cool on flat clean surface.


Now if you'll excuse me I'm in need of some icy cold fresh milk. :D

Movie time...

I just finished watching Cinderella with my four year old sister. She brought it to me and asked me to watch it with her. You know the ooooolllldd Disney version. The "timeless classic" I guess it is. We have the old VHS too, no Blue Ray HD whatever. Good old fuzzy VHS that doesn't get scratched when you leave it sit on the shelf out of it's case.
I remember watching Cinderella when I was a little girl with my sister. It was never my favorite but I still remember watching it. And I didn't really want to watch it tonight either but it was totally worth it to see my little sister's reactions. Especially at the end when the glass slipper gets broken and Cinderella pulls the other one out of her pocket, my sister clapped her hands together and yelled "It is hers!" :) Timeless.

Happy Independence day!
