B's Chocolate Chip Cookies (and Pan Cookie Conversion)


So AceBall spent a few years tweaking his chocolate chip cookie recipe, until he felt it was "the perfect cookie". I can't complain- I eat 'em hot, I eat 'em cold (the day after is THE BEST!) and pretty much any time of the day or night. I have been using the tollhouse pan cookie recipe straight off their site, but it always tastes too salty for some reason!? So I decided to use B's recipe and and see if it was any better. It was! Here it is, the ingredients are the same whether making traditional or pan cookies, just the baking instructions change a little so after you get it all mixed up you have to decide which kind you want ;o).

Ingredients:
2 ¼  c. flour
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
½ c. sugar
2 c. chocolate chips

B creams together butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla in the Bosch (note the extra vanilla- we kind of love it here, so we use extra in most recipes!). Then mix in dry ingredients (flour, salt, soda) until it's all well blended. B doesn't bother to mix dry ingredients separately- and truthfully I never do either. Add the chocolate chips last- we've been using 60% cocoa ghiardelli chips from Sam's Club- they're FABULOUS. But they're "dark"- so if you don't like bitter sweet or slightly stronger than semi-sweet- you may of course use milk chocolate (ugh- I think I just threw up in the back of my throat at the thought of it). But I digress.

For traditional cookies, bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes. We like our cookies soft here- we are not fans of Chip's Ahoy. For pan cookies spread it in the pan, bake at 325° for 10 minutes, then 350° for 13 minutes. B reckons you could just bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or so, but we didn't try that way. He baked them first for 10 minutes at 325°, then another 10 minutes at 350°. They weren't done yet so he added another 3 minutes.

Then let 'em cool a bit and cut those bad boys up! They're so good I can't hardly stand it- and nearly put myself into a diabetic coma tonight eating them. I had TWO WHOLE COOKIES- and for someone with a gastric bypass, even with the 1/2 c of splenda- it's so NOT a good thing. But they sure are tasty.....

One of my best girlfriends in the whole wide world (KATIE) has a fabulous chocolate chip cookie recipe as well- I have it written down in my Better Homes & Gardens cookbook on a scrap of paper. I'll have to post hers as well in a bit....

Monterey House Candy (Leche Quemada - Burnt Milk Fudge)

I've searched for this recipe for literally years. They used to give to away at Monterey House in Dickinson, TX. I've made countless pans of what usually turns into semi-burnt caramel. I did find this exact candy at Las Palmas here in Springdale, but they seldom have it. They don't have a recipe. They claim they GO TO MEXICO and buy it from someone there, and bring it back?! Seriously useless. But here it is- someone from Dickinson gave out this recipe and I'm going to try it. You may all get some for Christmas this year if it works out. And if you don't absolutely LOVE it, please just send it back and I will eat it- somehow. NEVER LET IT GO TO WASTE!!! 5 pounds sugar 4 12-oz cans evaporated milk 1 12-oz can evaporated goat’s milk (or substitute evaporated milk) 2 cups light corn syrup 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon Mexican vanilla extract 4 tablespoons butter I N S T R U C T I O N S Put sugar, evaporated milk, evaporated goat’s milk, corn syrup and sa

Angelia Style "Chicken Fundido"

We're not sure what to call it, but it's FABULOUS and may replace my weekly (okay, it might be 2-3 times a week) "Taco Salad" meal.  Only Bryson and I eat the actual taco salad, and we're also the only ones eating this. :) Ingredients: However much chicken breast you have on hand Leftover pinto beans, refried beans, or canned black or red beans Sliced onion Mexican/Taco Seasoning Olive oil So we cut our chicken breast into strips, and sprinkled with the Homemade Mexican/Taco Seasoning we made.  Then I grilled onions in some olive oil until cooked through, and removed them.  Then I grilled the chicken in the olive oil until they were cooked through, and added the onions and the beans until all was heated through.  Then top with cheddar cheese,  cover with a lid and turn it off. THEN YOU EAT IT. I just eat it straight, but you could use tortillas (I wasn't up to making them tonight) or tortilla chips. Fab-O!
