Chocolate Chip Cookies

First, we would like to take a moment 

to say how much we appreciate all the moms out there.

This is for the moms that are not able to be with us today.

And for the children who have rocky relationships with their moms,

and for the moms who have done it with out dads,

and for the moms who have done it with dads,

and for the moms who put their children above everything else,

for adoptive moms,

for birth moms,

for all the moms out there who love their children,

we love you, too. 

Secondly, here is a simple, classic, exam week-friendly recipe

for you to make your moms (or yourself).

We are sure you already know the pros (and, if there are any, cons) of

Chocolate Chip Cookies.

So we'll refrain from giving any background and just say, make them.

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
12 tbsp. unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1-2 cups chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl, mix vanilla extract, butter, and sugar. Once mixed, incorporate egg. Next mix in all other dry ingredients.

Ball up dough so it fills hand and then smush to flatten into a cookie shape. Place on a sprayed cookie sheet approximately two inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes until browned.
