Chocolate Chip Cookies!

I just baked 8 dozen chocolate chip cookies during Andrew's nap.

Did Austin's school/class need them?
Nope.

Was I bored?
Do you remember I have 2 kids? Nap time is a precious commodity...nap time is never boring!

So why so many cookies?

Cause I failed to read the new recipe I was trying! LOL I'm not a good cook but I do enjoying baking so every once in a while I pull a recipe that looks good out of a magazine so I can try it later. Well today was one of those later times!

Our church has a military ministry called Heroes At Home. In honor of September 11th, the group is collecting baked goods to put into 4 baskets to hand out to our local police station, fire station, etc. to thank them for their service to our city. Great time to try my new chocolate chip recipe!

When reading the recipe, I thought it was awful strange that it called for 2 BAGS of chocolate chips. Wow! I didn't see anything at the bottom of the recipe stating how many cookies it made so I figured either they're really chocolatey or it makes A LOT of cookies. Yep. It's the latter one. LOL

Before starting to mix the ingredients, I reread the recipe and sure enough, at the TOP of the recipe in tiny letter it says "Yields 8 dozen cookies". Who in the world needs 8 dozen cookies?!?

Well, they came out really yummy and I plan on giving most of them to Heroes At Home but the rest shall make a home in my belly. =)
