I'm making chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips. I substituted them for mini M&Ms which I think make them look wonderfully colorful and festive for the new year.

Does anybody want the recipe? I dare say this is posssibly the best cookie dough recipe I've ever come across.

They'd be kinda stale by the time they reached you by mail, wouldn't they?

By the way, this recipe is my personally invented one-- no kidding! I've been tweaking this particular recipe since I was eleven. It's killer.

Dirt. Of course you would pick the New Year, when most everyone under the sun has resolved to diet.

Yeah, sure. Send it. I'll trade for my Three Sisters Soup Recipe.

Ok, I have to head off to work, but I'll write up when I get there in an hour or so.

You won't regret making these, I promise you.

Ok, here is the recipe. Note that more than anything it is the amount of time they are in the oven that will determine how soft or crunchy they become. So to make them perfect the surface of the cookie has to be just barely golden. If you wait until they are some shade of brown they will harden when you take them out of the oven by cooking on the baking sheet.

So without further ado, this is how you make Totem's Splendiferously Fantabulous Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Mix into a bowl until slightly creamy. Do not whip it.

2 sticks of butter. (it must be butter, margarine changes the recipe)
1 cup of white sugar
1 cup of tightly packed brown sugar. (make it a full cup after it has been packed)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla (preferably real)

Now add in 3 cups of all purpose flour that has 1 teaspoon of salt and baking soda mixed in. Here is where it becomes subjective. If the dough is slightly wet or almost runny, add as much as 1/2 cup of flour to the dough for a total of 3 1/2 cups of flour.

Now mix in a 12 oz bag of chocolate chips.

Put large balls of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet with room to spread out. Set the oven to 375* It should take about 10 minutes for the cookies to bake on the middle rack, a little more (30 seconds) if your oven bakes cool, a bit less if it runs hot. Place the finished cookies on wire racks to cool.

Do NOT leave the cookies out overnight as they will dry out. Place them in a Tupperware container, or better yet, freeze them in ZipLock baggies (Debalic should have no trouble there unless he devours all the dough before they get made).

Ta-da! I guarantee these are the best CC cookies you've ever eaten.

Enjoy.

totem, totem, totem... how you've fallen.

somewhere along the line in your twisted mind baking cookies became acceptable but somehow wanting to know how to get an unobstructed view of your girlfriends photo was gay. yeah... yeah... see you in toledo.

I was able to detect 428 sexual metaphors and euphemisms in that paragraph alone.

RACK baking.

LOL, I'm very comfortable in my own sexuality and if donning an apron and emulating Mrs. Cleaver makes me feel domestic and pink, I'm fine with it. By the way, do these oven mitts make me look fat?

Seriously, I've been baking since I was a little kid. I used to drive my sister to distraction when I'd use up all her Easy-Oven baking supplies real early on a Saturday morning before anybody was up. I got in six square meals back in those days...

My grandfather on my Mom's side was a baker so maybe it's genetic. He used to make some killer Dutch pasteries that I could pass along to you guys if you ask me nicely. Grandpa rocked!

The way I see it is, cooking is just chemistry done in a lab at home. You take various ingredients/chemicals, mix them together, heat them in Pyrex and metal containers, and critically examine the results to see if they have any useful function.

It only when you start asking about home decorating and wallpapering that I get a little queasy...

1 Stick = 8 Tablespoons = 1/2 cup butter.

You don't buy your butter in cartons that have four sticks or packages of butter in them?

Just where are you getting yours? Straight from the cow?

/gets a mental picture of Stok in a milkmaid's outfit, sunbonnet, blue calico dress complete with apron, churning that cow milk as if his life depended on it.

Here's a bump for Aadynn. If I get rave reviews for my splendiferousuperfantabulouscallafragalistic CC recipe, I may, just may give you my Texas Chocolate Cake recipe, which is an honest-to-goodness award winner.
