Best Cookies Recipe Ever!

Hubby LOVES cookies and he loves the chewy ones the best. No matter what I did I couldn't make the cookies perfect. Through experiment I learned that the best way to get a really good cookie is to cook on a stoneware cookie sheet. I only bake on stoneware because everything comes out better on it. I actually don't know why I still have my old metal pans.
First measure out your unsalted softened butter and sugar then cream them together. Once it's nice and creamy add in your vanilla and your egg and continue to mix. In my house I use a handheld mixer, mostly because I don't have a stand mixer and I can't do this easily by hand.
Then add in your flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt and mix together. I use a spatula to get it started and then use my hand to finish mixing.
Once all combined well dump in your mini chocolate chips and mix well.
I use the mini chocolate chips because you get more chips throughout the cookie and what is a bite of cookie without a chocolate chip in it?
Now take small chucks of dough and place them on your stoneware cookie sheet. I choose to make our cookies pretty small. No matter what you know you are going to want to eat more than one so why not make them small so you can eat 2 or 3 without feeling guilty.
Oh look at all those YUMMY chocolate chips in those cookies! Time to go enjoy! At least one since these aren't THM approved cookies.
Ingredients: 
3/4 cup softened unsalted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar 
1/4 cup granulated sugar 
2 tsp vanilla extract 
1 egg 
2 cups all purpose flour 
2 tsp cornstarch 
1 tsp baking soda 
1/2 tsp salt 
6 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In the bowl cream together softened butter and sugars. Add vanilla and egg and mix some more .
  3. Pour in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt and mix.
  4. Stir in MINI chocolate chips.
  5. Break off small amounts of dough depending on how large you want your cookies and place on your cookies sheet.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until your liking.  The bottoms will cook well on the stoneware and be easy to take off your pan but the tops will be nice and chewy!
  7. Let cool on an plate or cooling rack until cool enough to eat!
  8. Should make about 4 dozen cookies!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
