Chocolate chip cookies

Yes it’s another Chocolate chip cookie recipe. This recipe eggs from one of my favorite bloggers, Keep Your Daydream. Their posted recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of salt. Personally I felt like that was a little heavy on the salt so I am writing it as 1 tsp. They are very tasty tho, even with the 2 tap.  10 ounces of butter 225 grams of granulated sugar 285 grams of brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons of baking powder 500 grams of flour 550 grams of chocolate chunks Preheat your oven 325 degrees convection (preferred) or 350 degrees regular oven temperature. Cream your butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, blending well between each egg. Add vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix your dry ingredients. Slowly add to creamed mixture. Use a small ice cream scoop to portion cookie size and bake for 12 minutes.

Salsa

If you ever need a quick batch of salsa, this was really good. I’m sure you could make it with fresh tomatoes, I just haven’t tried. Also try fire roasted tomatoes. Delicious! Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as Rotel One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!) 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 clove garlic, minced 1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1/2 whole lime, juiced Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.) Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as ...

Hot fudge

Served this with fruit and ice cream for dessert and it was a hit    2/3 cup heavy cream (I used half-and-half)  1/2 cup light corn syrup  1/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed  1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder  1/4 teaspoon salt, optional and to taste  6 ounces dark or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped  2 tablespoons butter  2 teaspoons vanilla extract Bring cream, corn syrup (could try honey as an alternative), brown sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and half the chopped chocolate to a boil in a 1 to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until chocolate is melted.
