My "famous" Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recent requests by my sisters have encouraged me to look up an old cookie recipie. I should change their name to "Peter's Favs" since my Uncle Pervaz is probably their number one fan. The recipe makes about 5 dozen. Iif you do not want to eat them all at once, I suggest making a "cookie dough log," wrapping it wax paper and foil and tossing it into the freezer. The dough lasts forever and anytime you feel like some yummy cookies slice of a few chucks and bake. These cookies are a hit with my family and hopefully they will be a hit with yours too!

Ingredients:

• . 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• . 1/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
• . 1 teaspoon baking soda
• . 1/2 teaspoon salt
• . 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
• . 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• . 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• . 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• . 2 eggs
• . Chocolate chips (any kind) try putting a bit of all kinds. Last time I put in Milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chunks.
  

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
3. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large bowl mixer until creamy. (NOTE: The softer the butter the skinner the cookies)
4. Add eggs to sugar and butter mixture; beat well.
5.Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

Bon Appetit! :-D

Copy Cat Me

I have never really kept a diary.. when I did it was a fake,my sisters and MOM were totally into reading it. Come to think of it there was not a single place in the house where I did not hide the thing, and it was not found. Alas, this is will be a new thing for me, so bare with me. :)
I am little hesitant to write stuff down since I usually only feel the need when I am upset. However, I will do my very best to fight those nasty urges. :) With that in mind if my future posts ever seem a little "down" ignore it.. I probably just watched a sad movie. ;)
Hopefully through this blog you will get a little taste of my life. :) and see how truly wonderful it is (All thanks to God).

Lastly, I would like to send out thanks to all my friends and hubby who have inspired me to copy their foot steps and create a blog.
