Changing Weather...27º

!$@!^@%@$@#& Damn...I was trying to redo this blog to include the recipe and succeeded in wiping out the entire post...As near as I can remember what I wrote---The weather is changing to rain and snow tomorrow.

Yesterday was a busy day when I baked a fresh batch of cookies using a new recipe then instead of chocolate chips I added vanilla chips and raisins/craisins...Took a plate to Write people...Water Therapy was next and a stop at safeway...Home to warm up our meatloaf, topped it with freshly made mushroom gravy and added a side a salad...Hugs To All...OWAV:)

Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies (secret ingredient is cream cheese)

-1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
-1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (don’t use fat-free, light or whipped)
-3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
-1/4 cup granulated sugar
-1 large egg
-2 tsp vanilla extract
-2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-2 tsp cornstarch
-1 tsp baking soda
-1/4 tsp salt, optional and to taste
-2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
And here’s what you do: 1 Mix together butter, cream cheese, sugars, egg and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer (with the paddle attachment). Beat on medium-high speed until well-creamed, fluffy and light. This should take about 5 minutes. 2 Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Mix for about a minute until combined. 3 Add in the chocolate piece and beat briefly, or fold in to incorporate. Bake at 375º for 8 to 10 minutes .
