Anger, Rage and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Okay. Some punk kids busted the window of my van last night - not impressed. I also had to drive to the airport (about 20 minutes away) at 530 AM, in -20C (-4F) with no window on one side.

 Oh, by the way - To the residents of my city... I appreciate your concern, but I was totally aware that I had no window. I know you had good intentions when you were swerving/waving/honking to get my attention, but it really just made it worse.

Anyway, I was really upset this afternoon, so I made cookies. Cookies always make people feel better. So here's a recipe for a super easy - and super yummy! - chocolate chip cookie!


Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 375F

3/4 c sugar

3/4 c brown sugar

1 c butter

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/4 c flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2-2 c chocolate chips.

Soften butter in microwave, or just let it warm up to room temperature. In a large bowl, put in butter, and both sugars. Grow a set, and use a fork to cream them, instead of using a hand mixer. Seriously.

Add eggs and vanilla, mix well.

Add flour and baking soda, and mix well. Dough should be fairly stiff - Oh, grow up.

Add chocolate chips and mix again. 

Drop spoonfuls of dough on an ungreased baking sheet. Make sure they are about 1 inch apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until they are slightly brown on top.

Let them cool for about 3 minutes, or eat them right away and ignore the advice of an expert.

As I've said before, recipes are a guideline. You can add 1/2 c of chopped walnuts, or a handful of M&Ms/Smarties/Reece's Pieces. Add some cinnamon. Make these your own creation!!
