{Our time on Lake Michigan} ~ Chocolate Chip Cookies

First, an easy GF brownie from this mix.

These brownies were quite enjoyed by many!

About 5 of the nieces and nephews made

my now near famous chocolate chip cookies

that I have made for Pascha for many years.

I always get asked for the recipe.

I was thinking about this recipe

during our vacation week and realized 

that one of the tricks of my recipe,

since it is from a standard cookbook,

is that I merely role the cookies in my hand,

they even have ridges where my fingers were;

I do not make them uniform, or into small balls or

moreover and most importantly, 

I don't smooth them into a flat cookie before baking.

I think that mine are made with lots of vertical width to them,

as it were, is why they are so good;

mine are not dried out but a more almost moist butter rich cookie.

Everyone that has had them loves them.

It was really fun to bake with the munchkins! 

I had a nephew, D., ask me the first day if he could make

these cookies with acorns he found, opened and chopped

the nutmeat part from.

So we did, making sure no shells were in with them,

and it was really good; had a hard to describe

wonderful savory taste, like a memory of salt with just the 

right amount of sweetness.
