yum yum

The number one reason I cant drop 5lbs? I love treats. Any kind What ever you got I want. My goal was to try and get down about 5 more pounds but I cant. I love to bake way to much and there for love to eat these treats. I found this new recipe today and made these cookies I think they are good, at least all the dough I ate was good. Try it and and see what you think. I had to make a few changes on some of the things because I didn't have all they called for. Enjoy









A to Z Everything-but-the-Kitchen-Sink Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground mace (this is kinda the same as nutmeg and I didn't have it so I didn't use it)
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves(I only had whole cloves so I just pinched of the tops and used them)
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup cornflakes cereal, crumbled(we only had frosted flakes so again I used what we had)
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup flaked coconut
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips(I am not a fan of semisweet, I am a milk chocolate girl and love love Ghrorardelli. I also used a 5oz symphony bar the kind in the blue pkg. and only used about 1 cup of chocolate chips)
1 cup chopped walnuts ( I skipped the nuts, the symphony bar has almonds so that worked for me)
DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in milk and vanilla. Gradually mix in the sifted ingredients until well blended. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the cornflakes, oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets; flatten slightly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. I found that slightly under baking these yields wonderfully chewy cookies!
