I'm really looking forward to this weekend (which is making this week go SO slow)! On Saturday, Sean and I are having some friends over for a BBQ/end of summer party. I am planning on making some awesome new desserts and apps (expect an update with lots of pictures on Sunday!).
Instead of working out tonight (I know I am a complete lazy-ass!), I decided to eat some ice cream, watch the Olympics closing ceremony on my DVR (since I never watched it a week and a half ago), and I rented the Hunger Games which I'm excited to watch with Sean when he gets back from the gym. Since I have some time before he gets back, I wanted to finish this post about the chocolate chip cookies that I made last week. Enjoy!
Pinterest Idea #17
"BEST EVER Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies"
My attempt:
My friend Lauren from work brought in these cookies earlier last week and they were AWESOME so I decided to make them for Sean. I'm not sure what I did differently, but Lauren's (from work) batch was really fluffy and mine ended up being a little flatter, but both versions turned out really great! They definitely are "BEST EVER" quality.
My parents bought me my Kitchen Aid for Christmas a few years ago (LOVE IT!). When I made the batter, I was lazy and melted the butter instead of just letting it soften to room temp so that could be why my cookies got flat.
Parchment paper is one of my favorite ways to cheat in the kitchen...no cleanup!
The batter! I only ate about 5 spoonfuls instead of my usual 10.
I put the dough in the freezer to let it harden a bit (since the melted butter made it really soft). Don't mind the 1/2 pig and 10 lbs of ground beef that is in our freezer plus the giant bag of tator tots (courtesy of Sean's Sam's Club trip by himself). Note to self: Never let boyfriend go to Sam's Club alone!
Everyone NEEDS this to make cookies!
Pre-oven:
Sean offered to help, and this was him about 3 minutes later:
Hootie was there for moral support:
The cookies had to come out just as they started to brown:
I hate when people take pictures of themselves, but Sean was sleeping so here's me trying one:
So good! Yes, that is chocolate all over my teeth...
And the whole plate was gone in 2 days...
SEAN APPROVED!
