Week 52: Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies



http://www.crisco.com/Recipes/Details.aspx?recipeID=2102

This is an easy, no-fail chocolate chip cookie. I love when my mom makes these cookies! She got the recipe from a family friend's mom who we all call "Goo." It turns out, the recipe actually came off of a package of Crisco, but they will always be "Goo's cookies" to us.

Warning: These cookies are very addictive.

This is my last cookie for this project, but this will not be my last post. I plan to have a few more posts about the year of cookies, and then I will reveal my next project.

Also, I had just enough vanilla left for my very last cookie!

Week 51: Double Chocolate Cookies





I love chocolate!

Hooray! A yummy successful cookie! Didn't I say awhile back that I just need to stick with what I know? I think I need to stick with the traditional mix, scoop, bake. AND I didn't over cook them! YUM! Chooooooocolate!

ONE MORE COOKIE!!!

Week 50: Caramelitas

I have no idea where my picture of this disaster went.

These were quick and easy, except I think cooked them too long. They were tough and chewy. The recipe said to bake for 20-22 minutes, or until bubbly. I let it cook for 20 minutes, and it was really bubbly when I took it out. I've been over cooking my cookies a lot lately. Is it possible for my oven to get hotter with age?

Hopefully the last TWO cookies will be awesome!!!

Week 49: Soft Lemon-Ginger Cookies


http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Soft-Lemon-Ginger-Cookies

These are soft and yummy. I know they won't last very long at my house. I think I need to stick to simple cookies like these. They're always the best.

My son, who is learning to talk, now knows the word "cookie". We are in trouble.

Only 3 cookies to go!

I'm planning to do a "best of" list, so I need your help. What are your favorites?

Week 48: Gooey Turtle Bars


http://www.cookingclub.com/Recipes/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/5520/Gooey-Turtle-Bars

Another fail.

I'm sure this is my mistake. I don't have a candy thermometer, so I'm sure that is where I went wrong. They were gooey, but not tasty. Also, I think my pecans were no good. I'm not really sure why, because they weren't that old, and I keep them in the freezer. Maybe I made the mistake when I toasted them. Anyway. They were yuck. The piece you see missing, is the only piece eaten. The rest is now trash.

Only 4 cookies to go! (I hope they are 4 successful cookies.)

Week 47: Apricot Chip Cookies



I'm out of ways to say, "these cookies were good." Well, these cookies were good. They are basically chocolate chip cookies with dried apricots added. I thought they might taste a little weird with the dried apricots, but they were actually kind of nice. If you like dried apricots, but don't like rasins, they would be a good alternative in other recipes that call for rasins.

Only 5 cookies to go!

The following is an inside joke:

I hope to see you soon!
