Perfection



In our house, we like to find creative ways to add sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, and pumpkin to recipes.

Caelyn and Morgan have a little competition going to see who can yield the best results with sweet potatoes.
So far, I'd say they're 1-1.
Morgan makes some rockin' sweet potato muffins, and Caelyn has absolutely perfected

Chocolate
Chip
Cookies

"Doesn't it just sing?"

We normally use Sally Fallon's recipe, but Caelyn wasn't pleased with the texture.

She found this one recently, and you'll hear no complaint from me.
In fact, they're
Absolutely
Perfect, 
with a cake-like texture.

Of course, as her gene pool would dictate, she somewhat changed the recipe to suit our family's preferences; but I don't know exactly how.
Sorry.

Anyway,
Craig believes that anything other than traditional chocolate chip cookies is a horrible misuse of chocolate chips. 
I benefit from that opinion in that the chocolate chips that were removed from part of the batter to leave plain cookies for him, were then added to the rest of the batter, leaving some of the later cookies
loaded with 
chocolaty 
ooze!
Mmmmmm!!

Go ahead.
Try it.
I dare you to eat just four.

  2. Hi, Phyllis! I can't wait to hear how yours turn out. We used to take these along to track meets when our children competed in Pittsburgh. I knew they'd want a yummy sweet snack after all of their hard work, but I didn't want to them to have junk food. This is like guiltless junk food. :-)
