I know the first few of weeks of back to school means Mom is going to make dinner every night, have big healthy breakfasts ready, come up with fabulous after school snacks and generally be the best mom in the world. Then May comes around and Mom is making a phone call to Pizza Hut, passing out pop tarts and driving through Sonic for an afternoon snack. But, while we are all still feeling ambitious here is a recipe for amazing homemade chocolate chip cookies. I made this batch and they were gone within about 10 minutes and I am not kidding. These are such a great way to make a boring weekday special.
I do not bake much, but one thing I have learned is that I always use parchment paper when I am baking. I have tried those silpats and they get greasy and are difficult to clean. Parchment paper is easy and disposable.
