Friday Afternoon with Aunt Holly

Last Friday I picked up Ginger's 2 oldest kids and we had the best Friday afternoon! We went swimming in one of my apartment's pools, made sugar cookies with frosting & sprinkles, and had Barros pizza & watched a movie on my computer while sitting on my couch. They couldn't believe that I would let them eat on the couch or that we were watching a movie on my computer! Apparently they don't do those kinds of things at home:) I guess I wore them out cuz they crashed on the way home!

Featured Recipe

AB Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

2 sticks unsalted butter

2 1/4 cups bread flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/4 cups brown sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

2 tablespoons milk

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.

Pour the melted butter in the mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar. Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Chill the dough, then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
