How many of you like to take something ordinary and fancy it up a bit? You know, give it a little flair. Well, I do! And that's exactly what I did to these chocolate chip cookies. Ok, get ready for this...this was my very first time to make chocolate chip cookies from scratch! (I can't believe I said that out loud!) Well, see, the thing is, I love tollhouse cookie dough. It just seemed so perfect, like nothing could beat it (now I'm not saying that these cookies beat it, but they definitely would give them a run for their money).
I'll give you one guess as to where I got the recipe...yep, that's right, Southern Living. It's called their "All-time Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies" and I can see why.
Ok, let's get back to the fancying it up a bit. I just couldn't resist. Plus, who doesn't love more chocolate? I just took the left over semi sweet morsels and melted them in a double-boiler (adding some butter to make it smoother). Using the spoon I was stirring with, I drizzled chocolate over the cookies. As you can see, I dipped a couple of them half way in chocolate. Ben personally likes the ones that are covered in chocolate, so I did a couple of those for him (not pictured). This can be done to oatmeal cookies, sugar cookies, anything really!
Merry Christmas!
