Happy Birthday Mum!

Now that I’m older

I really want to thank you,

for never leaving me in a shopping cart

and running for the exit!

(I know it must have been tempting.)

hugs n’ blessings to the best mum in the 814 and all the other mums who are turning older today!

Psst – And don’t worry I won’t make any age related jokes…

I genuinely feel bad about how old you are!

“My friend Helen said to come prepared to eat cookies. Well…I’m ready!”

Since Helen has invited so many “friends” to join us I guess we had better prepare for a larger crowd this month!!

And what better way than with one LARGE COOKIE!

COOKIE CAKE

1 cup crisco

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 tea baking soda

1/2 tea salt

1 package (12 ounces) chocolate chips (I like Hershey’s Best!)

Heat oven to 375.  Mix shortening, sugars and egg.  Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff).  Stir in chocolate chips.

Spray round aluminum pan lightly with baking spray.  Place entire chocolate chip mixture in center of pan and begin to flatten/press evenly, until dough is within 1/2 inch of edge(s). (Dough will spread to edge during baking.)

*Recipe can also be made for individual medium-size cookies. Drop dough instead by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake until light brown, 8 to 10 minutes. (Centers will be soft.)

Makes 1 round cookie-cake

0r

6 dozen medium-size chocolate chip cookies.

“Wait, so you mean if someone ‘dresses up’ they can expect bigger cookies to be served?”

“If so, I sure do hope this will work!!”

nibble, nibble, nibble…

crumbs on the plate.

nibble, nibble, nibble…

it’s almost too late!

Hurry-Up!

Or you’ll miss the last bite

of something that is great!

hugs n’ blessings to ALL the friends who joined us this month to share in Cookie Baking Day!

Happy National Doggie Day too!

love like you love.
