A Chip off the ol' block

I'm just gonna start  off like I've been here all along and haven't taken a 15 month hiatus....what hiatus? who said something about a hiatus?

I'm sharing our family's favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.  It's been in our family for years... I think it goes all the way back to 2015.  That's right, I found these cookies at The Little Kitchen a few years ago and I finally got around to making them last year. These cookies have the perfect amount of chewy and the perfect amount of crunch. They have a few unexpected ingredients too. I've made them a few times and every time they are a hit.
I made these cookies again recently, but made a few changes just like Granny would do. Granny never follows a recipe exactly.

 I usually add a half cup of Heath bits to the batter, but this time I added Heath bits and coconut flakes.  I think I'll be making that addition from here on out. I guess I might just be a chip off the ol' block.

Soft-Baked Monster Cookies

Wow! Give me a minute to blow some dust off this blog before I post these cookies.

I haven't been cooking with my dear sweet ole Granny lately. Even though I have a few ideas that should get me back in her kitchen pretty soon, I just haven't made it happen. But being out of school on spring break, did make me bust out my inner Granny. One of Granny's favorite pastimes is flipping through cookbooks. So since I made no travel plans for spring I've been flipping through my favorite cookbook, Pinterest! That's where I found Sally's Soft-Baked Monster Cookies.

Sally says to add any variety of M&M's to the cookies.  It just so happens that I had a bag of white chocolate M&M's laying around.  And being the health conscious person that I am **insert giggles...okay hysterical laughter here** I decided a large bag of M&M's laying around wasn't good for my will power. So I did what any sane person would do...I made cookies!
