Daniel's chocolate chip recipe

The moment you've all been waiting for... (or at least makana lol) 

Daniel's famous cookie recipe is finally being revealed. 

You don't know what true happiness is until you make and eat these. . .

Warning makes about 4 dozen cookies or 4 very very large cookies

Needs:

2c shortening

1 1/2 c sugar

1 1/12 c brown sugar (press down firmly when measuring this out)

Mix well

Add 4 eggs

2t vanilla

2t salt

2t soda dissolved in 1t hot water

between 4-5c flour (touch test, you dont want it sticky)

You can either make 1 huge batch with your favorite chips or divide the batter and make varieties of cookies e.g. white chocolate chip, wcc and semi-sweet cc, milk cc, mint cc, ones with nuts etc.

Bake 350 for 10mins

Ice cream in a bag

We made this bag if delight for FHE a few weeks ago. 

I got the idea here

It was really fun to do. 

I did alter the recipe by doubling the ingredients but that was all. 

It really is so delicious. 

Cookie+ice cream=delish!

The other day I made this batch of chocolate chip cookies. 

So soft even days after. Pretty sure it is because of the pudding involved. 

I only made 2 pans worth but that left me with LOTS of left over cookie dough. 

And when is that EVER a bad thing?!

I rolled up rest into a log, wrapped in plastic, and stored for later consumption. 

"Later" happened to be 6 hours later. 

I saw my silicone cupcake pan and thought  "hmmm.... its like a cookie sheet."

So I baked my cookies in the cupcake pas, and scooped some ice cream on top while it was still hot.

They all went into the freezer together and came out a beautiful and delish marriage of all things yummy.  

And we made a batch every day until it was all gone. 

And that was a very sad day.
