Three Bests

1. The very best Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe:

I have honestly honestly tried a ton of these. I have googled: "the best chocolate chip cookie recipe," "the best chocolate chip cookie recipe in the world," best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever," and I FINALLY found them. And wouldn't ya know, they were from a regular little Mormon cookbook. Nothing fancy. Probably just by a humble little mom in her humble little kitchen with her humble little hand mixer mixing in her white plastic bowl from 1998. Those are the best cooks, ya know.



Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
from Worldwide Ward Cookbook

2 1/4 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 C. butter, softened
1/4 C. sugar
3/4 C. packed brown sugar
1 pkg. 4-serving vanilla instant pudding (Jell-O)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
12 oz. chocolate chips

Mix flour and baking soda; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, pudding mix, and vanilla; beat until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture; mix well. Stir in chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Makes 3 dozen.

*In our oven, eight minutes is perfect! We take them out when the edges are just barely browning and they still look undercooked.

2. The best and cutest bowls ever:



This month, my budget is very strict. So strict, that it cannot waver eight dollars. So starting now, everyone that reads this blog has to buy me a bowl. Only one! That's it!

3. The best things to make you laugh:










it's friiiiiiday friiiiiidayyyy!
