It makes me hungry just looking at the dough...
My cookies are gaining quite a reputation here, as I make them any time we have company and always get rave reviews. I even made some for our neighbors for Valentine's Day. I thought about being one of those "it's a secret recipe" people, but then I thought, "If Kristi had never given it to me, I'd never have the joy of eating them or sharing them with others!" After a few reader for requests (EBQ, Erin) for the recipe, here it is: Kristi's Chocolate Chip Cookies. Above is the front of the card.
This is the back. If you live in England and have a fan assisted oven like I do, preheat to 160 C and bake for 10 minutes. A few more tips: get a cookie scooper. It's like an ice cream scooper but smaller. Like a melon baller only bigger. I got mine at Publix. If you live in England, I'm not sure where to find one, but I can ask future visitors to buy them at Publix and bring them over in suitcases. :) Also, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minute before baking. It gets the dough fairly firm. That is my mother's trick.
Do you have any other questions you'd like to see answered on the blog? I'll try my best to accommodate reasonable requests. After posting so many wacky Tesco pictures, I've thought about the "What do you buy at the grocery store?" question someone asked, but I haven't quite brought myself to documenting that. It just seems too normal.

I am going to be putting that recipe through the grinder and try it High Altitude and also try it Gluten Free (after I've gotten my hands in the normal batch). Don't know if I'll have the patience to put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Okay, question: Seen/met any British Deaf? Or met anyone that signs BSL? I would think that if you tried to converse with them that would be an interesting story. :-O
Ew. Get that 1st pic off. I look like a gorilla beast.

Thanks for sharing your recipe...I will be making these soon! I have had some disastrous chocolate-chip-cookie-making attempts when trying new recipes, so it's nice to know about a tried and true one! And--YES!--that is the same bag that I had! My brother had the boy version (in blue). I just shed a little tear of reminiscence!
Interesting side note about the sign language. I naively assumed that sign language was the same internationally...until I lived in Chile and learned some signing from a friend there. Yeah...not really the same at all. So British sign language would probably have some fun new signing slang.
Sorry Kristen! It's my fault. I love those pictures! Winnie is beautiful and I'm so glad I got to catch a glimpse of her in person. You are one lucky Auntie! And those cookies? I think I may be baking this weekend. :)
Thanks for posting the cookie recipe! Those will be coming soon to a kitchen neear me!! Love you!
Hi Nicole, just wanted to leave a comment to say hi and also to say all 3 of my kids had that same " Going To Grandma's" Bag ( Chad's was blue). It brought back lots of memories when I saw it on your blog. I wonder what happened to them....I think I'll go look for them, I know they are here somewhere.....
