Can you ever have too many recipes for chocolate chip cookies? I think not. These were delicious. And great dough too. 😁 280g flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon salt 170g butter, melted and slightly cooled 200g packed light brown sugar 50g granulated sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 180g chocolate chips Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides to easily lift the bars out of the pan when cool. Set aside. Whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the egg, then the egg yolk. Finally, whisk in the vanilla extract. The mixture will be thick. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together until combined. The dough will

I love a meal that's wrapped in a bread like pocket. It's great in the room or when camping. This is my first attempt at empanadas. They were delicious.

Quiche. It's a great quick healthy meal or appetizer. It's very versatile. it's a great way to empty that vegetable drawer in the refrigerator. There seems to be a lot of debate in much of the assembly method in a quiche. Do you blind bake? Do you precook your feelings such as your vegetables? Milk or cream? 4-5 eggs Milk Fillings Pie crust I do not blind bake my crust and have had success with having a nice crust.  As they say on the Great British Baking Show, I have not had a soggy bottom. The key to the filing seems to be the ratio of milk to egg.  After a bit of Internet research and experimenting on my own I think the method of measuring your egg with the milk brings the most success. When you are putting your filling together, crack your egg into a measuring cup. Add enough milk to make 1/2 cup per egg. I do not brown my vegetables before I put them in. I just put them in raw but make sure that they are thinly sliced.  I also use milk but have tried cream whe
