Whats a girl to do

2012 has been good to me. I have been busier than ever. I really cant wait to see what else is in store.

I have been sick for teh last week or so. I went to the doctor and she growled me lol. she told me that I was too busy and that I had to rest. I wasnt allowed to do anything. I spent 3 days doing nothing. i was bored. i did the basic house stuff but all i did was watch tv. a whole lot of nothing!

but now that I am feeling better I am back to editing and baking... it s abig job! lol
 in 2012 I am hoping to do much more baking and maybe selling it. like at the farmers market or special orders not quite sure yet.

Giant Double Chocolate Cookies


you will need:
1 cup (2 sticks) cold, unsalted butter, cubed
1¼ cup sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup dark cocoa powder
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp. coarse salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips ( used white chocolate chips)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Beat together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Blend in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix in the cocoa powder until well blended. Add the flour, salt and baking powder to the bowl and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead briefly by hand to be sure the ingredients are well combined.

Divide the dough into 4 ounce portions (or divide into 12 equal pieces). Roll each portion of dough into a ball and flatten just slightly into a disc. Place on the prepared baking sheets, a few inches apart. Bake 16-20 minutes. Let cool
