Sick day = cookie day!

One late night out and I'm toast - I'm getting too old for these kind of shenanigans! Let's just say I had a long Thursday night... and spent this weekend housebound with a pounding headache and sore throat. When handed 48 hours of absolute boredom, what does one do? Bake cookies, have Peep wars and watch New Moon. Duh.

Let the battle begin...

I found Heath toffee chips, white chocolate chips and a dark chocolate bar in the cabinet (most of which I stole from home over spring break), and decided to just chop them up and throw it all in. I love cookies made with whole wheat flour, so that was a given. YUM. This may be one of the simplest and most wonderful combinations yet!


Good For Everything Cookie Dough
Makes about 4 dozen
Originally from the back of the Guittard chocolate chip bag


1 C (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 
1 C packed brown sugar
3/4 C granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

2 C flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 C of mix-ins (chocolate chips, heath bar, whatever your heart desires)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter and sugar, then add egg and vanilla and beat well. Add dry ingredients in gradually and beat to combine. Stir in mix-ins. Refrigerate dough until stiff. Roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just set.
