Today was breathtakingly beautiful here- around 80 degrees,absolutely no humidity, plenty of sunshine, warm but not too warm. So i decided to whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookies. This is one of more than a dozen chocolate chip cookies recipes, so here is another one for you to try.
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. After scooping out 1/4 cups of dough, freeze them for an hour or so, and preheat your oven before baking.

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips
Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix in chips. Scoop our 1/4 cups of dough and freeze and hour or two. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stagger cookies on sheet.
Bake 12 minutes, no longer. (edges will be golden brown)
The sun is out, so i thought i would make some lemon cake mix bars. Super easy, just a few ingredients, olus they are frosted!

I love to put crushed cookies in cookies, like oreos in chocolate cookies, chips ahoy in chocolate chip cookies, etc. So I saw some iced oatmeal cookies and thought they would be perfect in frosted oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
These probably didn’t need frosting!
I used all purpose and bread flour in these, but you can use entirely all purpose flour if you want. Just scoop it from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Chill individual doughs before baking, and preheat oven before baking.

2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup bread flour
2 1/2 cups quick oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
16 iced oatmeal cookies, crushed
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients and oats. Mix in chips. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a few hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stagger doughs on sheet.
Bake 10 minutes, no longer. Cool completely.
Frosting ingredients
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbs ice cream, melted (or 2 tbs milk)
Directions – in a bowl, combine ingredients. If needed add a little more milk to get the consistency you want. Frost cookies.
Chocoholics will rejoice with this treat. Chocolate cookies made with black cocoa, crushed oreos and milk chocolate chips!
