Carole Mitchell’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is probably the best recipe for chocolate chip cookies that I have ever had. It might take some tweaking for some people to get them just right, but when you do, they are delicious. Trust me, I make them all the time !

(Picture coming soon)

 

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- 2 sticks of butter, room temperature

- 3/4 cup sugar, heaping

-3/4 cup brown sugar, heaping

Combine and mix until smooth (should almost look like thick frosting).

- 2 eggs

- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Add to butter and sugar mixture and mix well.

- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, heaping not leveled.

- 1 tsp. baking soda

- 1 tsp. salt

Add and carefully stir into your wet ingredients. Will be thick.

~ A whole 12oz. bag of yummy chocolate chips ~ 

Pour and stir in.

Using a small cookie scooper or a spoon, place dough onto ungreased cookie sheets an inch apart. Bake till light brown for about 8-10 minutes. Yield: about 3 dozen? I’ve never counted. Sorry! If you have any questions please don’t be afraid to ask!

 

No more posts until…

…we get settled into our new house. I’m really sorry, but I will not be able to add any new recipes for awhile. My family is moving on Wednesday down to Kentucky, so we are and will be very busy this weekend and next week. Please bear with me! I promise to start posting again once everything has calmed down .  Meanwhile(and longer, of course!), may the Lord bless you!

Banana Bread

 * 1/3 cup milk

* 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

* 1/2 cup granulated sugar

* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies

I found this recipe on another blog and it’s wonderful! I just made it for the first time yesterday afternoon with a young friend of mine. It’s kind of time comsuming, but worth it. Sorry, but these are not low in calories!

 

                                 

 

* 1 1/2 Cups shortening

* 2 2/3 cups packed brown sugar

* 4 eggs

* 2 tsp. vanilla extract

* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

* 2 tsp. cinnamon

* 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

* 1 tsp. salt

* 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

* 4 cups old-fashioned oats

 

Filling:

* 3/4 cup shortening

* 3 cups confectioner’s sugar

* 1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow creme

* 1-3 tablespoons milk

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar well.

3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla.

4. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg, and add to creamed mixture.

5. Stir in oats.

6. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheets.

7. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

8. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Tip: I found it to be much easier to use a hand mixer rather than trying to stir by hand.

10. Add enough milk to achieve spreading consistency.

11. Spread filling on the bottom of half the cookies and top with remaining cookies.

12. Eat and enjoy!
