What I did for Love... of Cookies!

It's no secret among my friends that I love to eat! Recently I have had a craving for yummy cookies, but have for some reason no desire to eat store bought ones. The only remaining option is to make my own! Normally I would trick my talented roommate, Chenyu, into baking some for me but since its winter break, I have no choice but to head to the kitchen myself. I'm pretty sure everyone's very shocked right now- me, baking for the second time in two weeks! After looking through my sister's cookies cookbook (yes she has a cookbook all about cookies!), I finally found the shortest recipe and ingredients list- perfect for me :)

Chocolate Chip Butter Cookies

What you need:
1 cup butter
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 cups flour
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

What to do:
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl
Drop mixture in round balls onto baking sheet
Flatten the cookie balls
Bake for 12 minutes at 375 degrees





I made the following cookies a few days later because I was craving sugar cookies :)

Chewy Sugar Cookies

What you need:
2 3/4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups of butter
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

What to do:
Mix ingredients together in bowl one by one until dough is light and fluffy
Roll dough into balls and drop on baking sheet 2 inches apart
Flatten the cookie balls slightly
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees

Going into the oven after much mixing!

Finished sugar cookies

Happy eating! My cookies didn't turn out visibly appealing, but they were still delicious!

Love, Kathleen
