Happy Saturday!

We’ve been on spring break this week…friends over, spring cleaning, lots of spring sessions and just working on so many projects!  We wrapped up our orchard sessions and have been busy scheduling beach sessions.  (can’t wait)  One of the things I’ve been doing a lot more in cooking and baking …our daughter LOVEs to bake..and so last night I made the BEST batch of chocolate chip cookies (i love chewy soft cookies)

I thought I would share the recipe!

pre heat oven to 375

1 1/2 cups butter softened

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla

4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 (12-ounce) package (2 cups) real semi-sweet chocolate chips  

Combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet; remove to cooling rack.

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with this sweet little 1 year old a few weeks ago.  He is just as cute as can be!  Once we got in the studio...he was ALL smile!
