Here are the Instructions! 

Happy about all the money I just saved!

Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Twist

The other night I had a craving for cookies, of course the craving won and I made a batch....

I used this recipe from the MOMYS cookbook. Because I didn't have very many choc chips (not sure how this happened) I added about half a cup of oats and one banana. Turned out really yummy if you ask me! ;-)
   

 Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

•  1 cup real butter softened 
•  3/4 Cup sugar 
•  3/4 Cup brown sugar, packed 
•  2 Eggs
•  1 TBS Vanilla or Almond extract
•  1/2 tsp. Baking Powder 
•  1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•  1 tsp Salt 
•  2 1/2 Cups flour (tastes great with whole-wheat flour) 
•  Chocolate Chips (as many as you want)  

 Combine butter and sugars until smooth, add egg and extract, them combine well. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until well combined. Add Chocolate chips. (and anything else you desire) Scoop by TBS onto cookie sheet. Bake @350 for 10 min or until golden brown.

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while.... Life is busy and we are doing great!! Hopefully another post will come sooner than later. No promises though! ;-)

Joplin MO

Upon waking this morning I found out that Joplin MO had been hit by a F5 tornado. My first thoughts were of panic and fear, I have friends that live there! I went to Facebook and quickly found out that they were untouched by the tornado... Thank you Jesus!

Our prayers go out to the people of Joplin! Jesus be with everyone who has lost a loved one!

Here you can see some footage.
