Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
As much as I want to be, I am not a baker. I don't suck at baking, but I'm definitely not awesome. But classic chocolate chip cookies are pretty much fool-proof if you can read a recipe. Sure a little more or less of an ingredient, or accidentally leaving the cookies in the oven too short or long ends up with crispier or chewier, flatter or poufier cookies, but they still taste like a chocolate chip cookie.
I took a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that over the years, has become Sarah-proof, and transformed them into Holiday cookies - white chocolate chunks and dried cranberries. The combination of cranberries and white chocolate is nothing earth-shattering, of course, but I was absolutely tickled when making a simple substitution worked out okay.
Next batch, though, I'm going to use about half the vanilla because it was a little strong for the cranberries, and use light brown sugar instead of dark, so the cookies aren't so, well, dark.
