Comfort Food - Chocolate Chip Cookies

I LOVE chocolate chip cookies.. I mean I really love chocolate chip cookies.. They are the ultimate of comfort foods..

Do you have a favorite comfort food? 
Here is my favorite cookie receipe!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of unsalted butter - softened
1/3 cup dark brown sugar - firmly packed
1/3 cup of white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup - plus 2 tablespoons of sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
7-1/2 ounce package of chocolate chips
(Now I mix half and half of dark chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, but that's just me)
- also I have substituted 3/4 cup of walnuts and dried fruit instead of chocolate chips and they are SUPER tasty.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F.  Lightly grease two large baking sheets with butter or vegetable shortening (now I use no need to grease cookie sheets)
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and the sugars.
Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Mix well!
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Gradually add flour mixture to the batter.
Add chocolate chips

Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of batter onto the baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies have browned around the edges.

Let cool and enjoy!

Book Tour: Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes. An early preoccupation with Rock ‘n’ Roll led me to spend my twenties working my way from intern to executive in the music industry. Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard. Sleeping and eating quickly became a luxury, a plan I have since dubbed the Writer’s Diet. I channeled teenage memories of plastering my walls with posters to weave the tale of music journalist, Claire Abby, and the dreamy British rock-star crush of her youth, Christopher Penman. “Bring Me Back” is a work of women’s fiction, published by Turquoise Morning Press. When I’m not creating fictional musicians, I’m listening to everything from old-school Cheap Trick to Duran Duran to Superchunk with my kids, honing my Southern
