Chocolate Chip Cookies by Jessica Makin, submitted via e-mail:
Jessica M.'s Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 sticks of butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
3 cups flour
1 bag choc chips (I use half milk and half white chocolate, I like the flavor combination, but it depends on what you prefer. Splurge on the Ghirardelli chips.
Totally worth it.)

Cream together butter, and both sugars for a good 5-6 minutes, until the batter can hold peaks (kind of like when you make whipped cream). Add the eggs and mix for another couple minutes. Add vanilla and mix. Combine salt, baking soda and flour and slowly add to the mixture. After fully combined, add your choice of chocolate chips. Unless you have a Kitchen Aid/Bosch mixer you will have to add the choc chi
ps by hand. my hand mixer gets tired after I add the flour!

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Enjoy!

I've found with this recipe that the real key is mixing each ingredient for several minutes. They bake nicer when you take the time to do it. Definitely worth it! If you decide to double the recipe, it makes A LOT of cookies. Also, if you double it, only use 3 eggs, not 4. The recipe above is actually half of the original recipe, but it makes a more reasonable amount of cookies.

Bring to a boil:
1 cube butter
2 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c milk
1 c peanut butter


Mix in 3 1/2 c quick oats ~ Drop on waxed paper, (cheap sandwich bags also work well for kids to stick their hand right into) ~ Place in freezer to chill at least 45mins before serving, (when wax paper is pulled away from bottom of cookie-cookie should stand out stiff)

Emily E.'s Pina Colada Cookies

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1-20 oz can crushed pineapple, drained

Set oven to 350 degrees. Cream the shortening, sugar and brown sugar together. Add the vanilla and eggs. Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Mix well. Stir in crushed pineapple. Place balls of dough on cookie sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool and spread frosting on top.

Frosting Any whipped vanilla frosting a few drops coconut extract shredded coconut (the amount is up to you) *if you're not a coconut fan, whipped cream cheese or just plain vanilla are excellent too!

Cookie Makes a Comeback 2009

I am bringing the cookie back. That's right ladies.
It's time the cookie was brought back into the spotlight.

Scoot over cupcakes!
You have some competition!


Why should the cookie make a come back? Simply because they are better. Cookies are easier to make, don't take as long to bake and the possibilities are endless. Sorry cupcake, you aren't as special as you thought.

To spread the revolution, we are having a cookie recipe blitz appropriately named "Cookie Makes a Comeback". On Monday, May 18, I will be posting your cookie recipes. From now until May 18th, make your favorite cookie recipe and post it. Send me the link to your post by May 18th and I will compile all the cookie recipes into one fabulous list. Please be sure it is a new post and not something you posted previously. Not a food blogger? Not to worry. You don't need to be a food blogger to share your favorite cookie. E-mail your link to whitney_leigh_ingram@yahoo.com

So get out your flour and sugar and leave the muffin tins in the cupboard. This is the cookie's time to shine.

I have unchained my graphic designer from her basement hovel so that she could make us a button. Spread the word of this revolution and recipe blitz. Post about this and tell everyone. It is time we give the cookie its just dues.



Here's to the cookie, whether it be chocolate-chipped or frosted!
Here's to grabbing a little stack of cookies
and nibbling while you watch "The Office"!

Here's to eating a treat with ONE HAND!!!
Step down cupcakes of the world
and make way for the classic of the ages!
