Something must be wrong with me...I make cookies all day at work,and then come home and make more cookies. What have I become? I finally realized that I am a bit obsessed with cookies and really need to chillax for a while. So, I have limited myself to only making cookies at home on the weekends. Let's see how long that lasts. : ) I taped this scripture to my mirror to remind me to stay on track : )...
"Discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." - Hebrews 12:11
I am thinking the peaceful fruit in my case will be me being able to button my jeans again...hopefully. : ) In other news, I was grocery shopping with my 18 year old sister today and some lady thought she was my daughter...excuse me while I go eat a carton of ice cream. Don't judge, I said I was going to go easy on the cookies not the ice cream. Anyways, onto the recipe. I made these cookies tonight, and dang were they good. I love Ina Garten. Her recipes are simple, to the point, and always turn out great. When I grow up I want to have a cute house like hers, with the beautiful garden, and an adorable little Jewish husband too! Until then, I will just have to keep making these cookies to make up for all those other things I don't have.
Chocolate Chunk Cookies
adapted from Ina Garten
In medium bowl cream until fluffy:
* 2 sticks of butter at room temperature
* 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
* 1 cup granulated sugar
Add the following and mix 2-3 minutes:
* 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
* 2 eggs at room temperature
Sift together the following and then add to above:
* 2/3 cup good unsweetened cocoa
* 2 cups flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1 cup white chocolate chunks or chips
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chunks or chips
Mix until combined. Scoop onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes. I baked 1/2 plain as is, then toasted some pecans and sprinkled them on top of the remaining cookies...it was yum.
