My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

I finally found a recipe that made thick chewy amazing cookies. i think it is technically called Mrs. Fields Cookies and the best part is that the recipe only makes 13 gigantic cookies.


½ C Butter
½ C Sugar
½ C Brown Sugar
1 Egg
2 tsp. Vanilla
1 ½ C Flour (I made them w/ wheat flour once; still tastes amazing)
1 tsp. Soda
½ tsp. Salt
1 C Milk Chocolate Chips
1 C Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 ½ C chopped Pecans (I’m not a big nut fan so added 1 cup of oats instead; still amazing)

and recently i added chunks of Almond Bark. i did maybe 1/2 cup and then reduced the milk ch. chips to 1/2.

Preheat over to 325. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Mix flour, soda and salt in a separate bowl and add to butter/sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (or oats). Dough should be thick. Use a ¼ Cup and fill with dough. (Yea, the cookies are huge! Make 13 big ones. I did smaller portions and found the baking time to be the same). Place on top rack for 15 minutes or until cookies edges are brown

Phylzer's Sweedish Cookies

So my Mom's nickname is Phylzer and this was originally her recipe she found. We had them at every important milestone growing up. Since they are my absolute favorite I have been carrying on the tradition even though I am not much of a baker. We had after both the Twins and Aubrey's blessing. They are so sweet and pretty with both pink or blue icing that I thought about calling them Blessing Cookies or Baby Shower Cookies. Here they are at my twins' 3rd birthday party.

1 c soft butter
1/3 c whipping cream
2 c flour
Granulated Sugar
Frosting

Directions:
<> Mix butter, whipping cream, together, slowly mix in the flour.
<> Roll out dough thinly and cut out cookies in little circles (I use my cake decorating icing tube as a punch) My picture above it actually way too thick, I had a 3 year old rolling so if you do it yourself they could get even thinner.
<> Set out a plate with sugar and cover both sides in sugar.
<> Poke holes with fork usually 3 straight lines (I did on the side here to look like baseballs).
<> Place on cookie sheet and Bake at 375 for 7-9 minutes. (They should not brown, just possibly get a little golden)
<> After completely cooling** frost one and press another on top to make sandwiches.
**Make ahead and freeze and frost before needed

Here is a picture of one of the birthday boys getting caught stealing cookies off the table. And
then getting caught again later....
