September 30th is National Homemade Cookie Day! As if America needs an excuse for making cookies! Well, I took advantage of this day and celebrated my baking skills by whipping up my absolute favorite: Chocolate Chip Cookies. I know there are so many cookie recipes in this world but I really do prefer a nice, simple chocolate chip cookie - without nuts (GAG!)! This recipe has been in my family for a long time and I have come to not only memorize it, but also perfect it!
*Update!*
October 1st is National Homemade Cookie Day
(photos are a little weird since my camera is still missing - I am using the one on my cell phone!)
Ingredients? Check!
I get gitty just prepping and looking at all the stuff I have to pull out of the cupboards to mix together for a delicious treat! I will have to say that my Williams Sonama mixing bowl set and matching spatula are some of my favorite items in the kitchen. Having cute accessories just adds to the art and fun of baking! If you don't enjoy baking, maybe your stuff is ugly!
I decided that I am an apron girl. I love them! Not just when I cook and bake, but always. I love that women used to wear them as though it were a uniform. Some may say that it was a sexist symbol in an era when woman were to stay at home to cook, do the laundry and clean while the husband went off to work. That's actually my life in 2008 and I really like it that way! I say that aprons make me feel pretty, domestic and they keep my pants clean - especially from dirty kid hands that are constantly and endearingly tugging at my side. I bought this one at an antique store in Montana and it has become my favorite!
Mixing it up! Who can resist cookie dough! I am not afraid of raw eggs whatsoever. People have been eating raw dough for decades, and so have I. Never have I been sick from it. If you don't eat the dough, you are not my friend!
(I always have to take a chunk of the dough out and set it aside for Wes before putting in the chips. Then I bake plain dough cookies for him. He loves chocolate chipless cookies! Have you ever heard of such a thing!? What a crazy he is.)
The finished product! Why they are glowing, I have no idea. I guess they really are that special! A nice tall glass of milk is calling my name! I can't wait for my cookie breakfast, my cookie lunch and of course cookies for dessert! While these babies will be disappearing, the width of my butt will not!

Chipless cookies, WTH!!! Has he lost his mind? I wish I was there to widen my butt with you.
ha ha. I love your comment about ugly accessories. Maybe that's what my problem is??
BTW. I don't know if I mentioned this yet or not, but just as I read your suggestion to go to a boutique like Whimsy to look for a dress...I was heading out the door to go there. Unfortunately I found nothing. Good thought, though
Well, National Cookie Day is today...Oct. 1st. You are a day off. Can you say oops? I had the recipe before you were born so credit is given to "ME". I made the peanut butter with chips today. You can have some tomorrow.
Mommy
Then you should have posted about it today instead of yesterday! Your blog says Sept. 30: "National Homemade Cookie Day! Can YOU say oops!? Now who has egg on their face? Scrape it off and make some more cookies with it to stuff in your smart mouth! I love you though.
Dang, I've only got 2 hours left to celebrate the day! Glad you have a cell phone cam :)
I hate to cook. I never thought about it before but my cooking supplies are ugly. Words of wisdom Amy. Maybe I need to shop!
I LOVE baking cookies!! I actually have to set aside dough without choc. chips too. Not for Reid, but for Reagan. She's not a big choc. fan. I have know idea where she could have gotten that gene!! Not from me!
Did you find your camera or get a new one? How is the kitchen? I hope I have one for next year's NCD (if not bring me some!)
