I thought I would start out my first blog post with Chad's new favorite cookie recipe because cookies just make the world a better place. We are a dessert family. In fact its a Pacanowski family rule:
Rule #5: Eat dessert after every meal...including breakfast
I found this recipe in the cookbook my Aunt made of all of our family recipes. Side note: I love that cookbook! Every meal is guaranteed to be good! Can't beat that in a cookbook.
So this is from my Meme. I left out several things because I didn't have them but they still turned out great. In fact, the picture of cookies will probably be gone by tomorrow!
Chocolate Chippers
1 stick butter
3/4 C brown sugar
1 egg
2 T vanilla
3/4 C chopped dates (I left those out)
1 C flour
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 C coconut (left out)
1/2 C corn flakes or granola (I used Honey Bunches of Oats cereal and added a cup instead of half a cup! :) )
3/4 C nuts (left out)
1 3/4 C chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla, beat well. Stir in dates; let soften 5 minutes and beat on high for 3 min. Add remaining ingredients. Drop by tablespoon on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. Drop cookie sheet on counter to make cookies chewy when you remove them from the oven. Enjoy!
There you go! Make them and your day will be better!
This past weekend Chad got to meet Nolan Ryan as part of his x-mas present. He loved it! He held his signed baseball in his hand the whole drive home- cute and funny! His office is slowly but surely being transformed into....a MAN CAVE! He is very pleased!
May you have a blessed and very happy Monday!
Love it!
