Mini Meat Loafer's

Happy Friday,

Never thought it would get here lol. Me and Khloey just got back from town. Shopped at Wally World and got lunch with a friend. It is so humid outside that you can barely breath. We got a storm yesterday which knocked our power out for about an hour and a half. Thought with all that rain it would cool it off. NOOOOO of course not, it's even more muggy and humid today. Suppose to get some more storms tomorrow and Sunday but thank god only.....


YAY!!!!

So tonight we are having a cook-out at my friend Nikki's. And that's the extent to our plans this weekend lol. Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found this recipe at SavorySweetLife!. I make a few slight changes because its what I had a on hand!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes approx. 45-48 cookies using a sm-med 2tbl. cookie scoop

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar *I used 1/4 cup of splenda (because that's what I had)
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups (12 oz) all-purpose flour *It said to weigh the flour. I did not and my cookies still turned out amazing*
1 tsp. smallish-medium coarse sea salt * I used regular table salt and it worked GREAT!*
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips *1 whole 12oz bag works great*

DIRECTIONS:

1.Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
2.Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (Took me about 5 mins).

















3.Add both eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes.

4.Mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour. Add to sugar and egg mixture by the 1/2 cups, Until all is incorporated. *I use a spatula starting at this step*





5.Finally add chocolate chips until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick.





6.Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Remove and let cool. *I used a greased stone so I did not use the parchment paper*


















***I only cooked 6 cookies. So I rolled the rest in a log. Covered in plastic wrap and froze it. Now I cut what I want and cook when I want. Works out great.***

Good Morning,

Just stopping in. I am so glade that it is Friday. We didn't get the all the rain I was hopping for yesterday but we got a little. Plans for today are Grocery Shopping, Washing Laundry, Sweeping, Moping, and Vacuuming. Then tonight one for my good friends is coming over for Pizza night! So tomorrow keep your eyes peeled for 3 Pizza Recipes that I mentioned in my last post! Really excited about making them. I have made the Cheeseburger Pizza ever sense I could cook. But the Buffalo Chicken & Apple Pie Pizza's are new for me :D!

Saturday me and hubby are going to go on a date. Early in the morning we are going to take off and go to the beach. This will be the first time we have been without Khloey sense she has been born. Kind of a bitter sweet moment I guess you could say. I am not sure if it is just me or maybe all moms but I feel so guilty when I go out by myself w/o my baby girl. But as my mom has explained to me its good for her and me to have some time apart from each other because she is very attached me.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and BLESSED weekend. I am sure it will fly by so blink as little and possible and enjoy it to its fullest.
