I have been sick sick sick ... but its nothing some homemade cookies cant fix.

So on top of being super duper pregnant I have had a horrific head cold, which has just been so much fun..... NOT!!! Any way being in such a crappy situation I decided to try and make the best of my time to rest and make some things for Charlie. I have been sewing up a storm making everything from burp clothes and stuffed owl's to receiving blankets, but all that sewing makes a girl hungry and  since it's me we are talking about that means my sweet tooth gets cranked into high gear. So what did I bake you may ask ? Chocolate chip cookies of course and they were absolutely to Delicious for words.

My Chocolate Chip Cookie  Recipe 
Ingredients: 
3/4 c. unsalted butter, softened 
3/4 c. brown sugar 
1/4 c. granulated sugar 
1 egg 
2 tsp. vanilla extract 
2 c. all purpose flour 
1 1/2  tsp. cornstarch 
1 tsp. baking soda 
1/2 tsp. salt 
2 c. bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2.  In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars until fluffy and light in color. Add egg and vanilla and blend in.


3.  Mix in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.

4.  Using a standard-sized cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a prepared baking sheet.  Bake for 8-10 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges.  (The tops will not brown, but do NOT cook longer than ten minutes.)

5.  Let cool, on the sheet, on a wire rack for five minutes.  Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely.  Makes approximately 3 dozen.  Try not to eat them all, My Husband always does
