Hello everyone & happy Saturday! Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving and ate lots of yummy food. I'm sure most of you guys had Pumpkin Pie during this week/weekend, but believe it or not, I don't like Pumpkin Pie. I know, it sounds really weird - but, for as long as I can remember I've never been really able to eat it.
Here are some delicious cookies that I got from my 10 year old reader, Miss Alex. What really was interesting to me about this recipe was that you use butter flavored shortening. My Dad described these accurately...."just a good ol' Chocolate Chip Cookie".
"Chocolate Chip Cookies"
½ cup unrefined sugar (you could use regular sugar, this just gives it a great texture)
½ cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup butter flavored shortening
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups unbleached flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 package milk chocolate chunks or chips
DIRECTIONS:
Cream eggs, butter, shortening and sugars. Add vanilla and dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake at 375 for 8 – 10 minutes or until golden brown.
My Mom took my brothers, my sister, and I snowboarding yesterday, which was also the first day they were open for the season. It was so good to be out snowboarding after not having done it for almost 8 months. I love going fast down a hill with the wind blowing your hair and in your face. Here are some pictures!
Those look great!!!! :-)

I love most cookie recipes, but sometimes there is nothing better than good ol' chocolate chip cookies!
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate chip cookies!! Looks like a great day on the slopes too! Utah doesn't have much snow yet!
ReplyDeleteYour chocolate chip cookie looks so yummy! Looks like you had some family fun! We have snow here in the Adirondack region also but I'm not too happy about it! I would rather have it here on Christmas eve and not before!
ReplyDeleteThe ski trails here opened a couple a weeks ago, but I haven't made it out there yet! Happy snowboarding!
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip cookies are a "must have" in our home year round, those look delish!
ReplyDeleteCool snowboarding pics too :)
Your cookies look great, it looks like you had fun snowboarding!
ReplyDeletethose cookies look really delicious! You're so brave to snowboard...it's all I can do to get down the hill on skis :)
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look SO good! I think you just convinced me that I should make some...
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look just perfect Priscilla! I have yet to try my luck at snowboarding, it looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThough I try not to use shortening, the choc chip cookie recipe I grew up with and love/loved used all shortening and the cookies are so good! They make a perfect cookie. I like the use of both butter and shortening. Butter adds more flavor. Yum, yum! I also almost prefer milk chocolate in a cookie. Great recipe, Priscilla!
ReplyDeleteSnowboarding looks so much fun! Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteI would love one of those cookies with a glass of milk right now!
Looks like ya'll had a ton of fun! The cookies look awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try snowboarding, it looks like so much fun! I am going to try these cookies, I know my girls will go crazy for them like the Oooey Gooey Cookies.
ReplyDeleteNot into snow-boarding priscilla, but those chocolate chunks look way better than chips. Came here at Pam's behest, blam her. LOL
