Today we got an awesome blizzard! 

I got to leave work early

This called for a celebration

+ Bake up some chocolate chip cookies +

::::::: using a Nestle Toll House recipe...with a few tricks* up my sleeve :::::::::::

It was so cold I could see my breath.....

I have been using this recipe for 8+ years....has yet to fail me. :)

2 1/4 cup flour

1 tspn baking soda

1 tspn salt

2 sticks of ROOM TEMP. BUTTER

3/4 cup of BROWN & WHITE sugar

1 tspn vanilla

2 eggs

chocolate chips [jumbo preffered]

walnuts 

----------------------------------

my *secret trick:

make sure the butter is soft but firm...
mix EVERYTHING but flour together. mix it good. mix it for more than 4 min. SERIOUSLY!

then add the flour in slooooooooowly...but add 1/4 MORE after the 2 1/4 

hand mix in chocolate chips & walnuts

then dollop the cookie dough on to sheets with spoons..do not form with hands

bake at 375 degrees for 8 min! 1 min before taking out, sprinkle some SEA SALT on top of 

the cookies. voila! You now have the one of thee best chocolate chip cookies EVER!!!!!!

p.s. this is what I was listening to over and over while baking tonight...
