Triple Chocolate Cookies! YUMMY!!!!


When my daughter and I were shopping for her new school clothes a few weeks ago, we stopped at the mall food court to recharge in between stores and grab some lunch.  We went to a little cafe/sandwich shop there that had these amazing little triple chocolate cookie chippers that my little one and I have both been craving ever since.

Of Course, she wanted me to just go back and buy more, I however decided to try to recreate the recipe at home...you know so that we could have them over and over instead of just when I have time to go to the mall.  It's a baking version of the whole teach a man to fish, he'll eat for life philosophy... kind of deep for a cookie craving, huh?!

Anyway, we mostly just went with the recipe of the back of a bag of Nestle white chocolate chips...the results were pretty close and we ate them all in about 24 hours!  (All 8 of us...not just my daughter and I!)





Wihisk or sift together your dry ingredients.


Cream together butter and sugars.


Beat on medium high until fluffy.


Add in the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.  Add in the chips.


Press the dough out onto a piece of wax or parchment paper.  Form it into a rectangle about 1/2" thick.


Cut into 1" squares.





Place on cookie sheets about 1 1/2" to 2" apart.


Bake for 10-12 minutes.


Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for a minute before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.


Now try not to eat them all in one sitting! : D


Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies
makes about 5 dozen cookies

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F.

Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl.  Beat butter, both sugars and vanilla together in a mixing bowl until fluffy and creamy.  Add eggs, one at a time, being sure to mix in completely between additions.  Add flour mixture in a bit at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl with a spatula when necessary.  Add in both chips and stir until well incorporated.

Place a large piece of parchment or wax paper down on a flat surface like an island or counter.  Scoop the cookie dough out on to it and flatten into a 9x13 sized rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.  Cut into squares about 1 to 1 1/2 inches.  Place on baking sheets about an inch apart and bake for 10-12 minutes.  Allow to cool for a minute on the cookie sheets, then move to a cooling rack.

S'mores with a Twist!

Now that it is finally summer and the weather is beautiful here in Southwest Washington, that means it is time for camping and cookouts to begin.  The most important food item at these events of course, being s'mores.  Who needs the hot dogs, burgers and steaks...I'll take s'mores please!  : D For our family camping trip I decided to mix it up a bit and feature some new candy bars besides the Hershey's Milk Chocolate bars.  I hit the candy aisle at the grocery store and looked for every flat-ish candy bar available.  I ended up with a Hershey's Symphony bar, a Hershey's Cookies n' Cream bar, a Mr. Goodbar (my family's personal fav) and a Reese's Peanut Butter bar.  Time for the fun to begin!   We all had a blast trying the different bars and although they were all delicious, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law liked the Mr. Goodbar best, where as I LOVED the Reese's Peanut Butter bar.  I ate way too many after white water rafting...but I figure...

Graduation cupcakes!

A few weeks ago now, our family had two graduations on the same day...my little one graduated from preschool (I feel so OLD) and my brother-in-law graduated from high school.  In honor of such wonderful occasions I decided to make some cupcakes.   For my daughter's, I made mini cupcakes with blue and pink graduation hats since those are the colors she and her classmates wore from graduation.  Then for our little BBQ at home, I made big cupcakes with green hats (that was my brother-in-law's school color) and pink ones for the graduation girl.   Now, I must confess, that with all the things going on that week and the fact that I had to bake goodies for the end of the quarter parties at the college I work at, I cheated on these cupcakes.  Yup, that's right, I used box mixes.  See, I do it sometimes...not often but every once in a while you just don't have the time or energy to bake from scratch.  I do it, you guys do it...we all do.  So do y...

Tuesdays are our lazy days around our house.  I don't work until the afternoon and my daughter doesn't have school, so it is kind of the day that we sleep in, have a yummy breakfast and get a few things done around the house.  This Tuesday, I decided to make it extra special and make homemade cinnamon rolls...from scratch!  I don't think there is any better breakfast than a delicious hot from the oven cinnamon roll that you made with your very own hands.  Plus, I had some leftover cream cheese frosting that tasted just like Cinnabon's frosting...so yeah, basically best breakfast EVER! lol Our ingredients...
