Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am always on the look out for new chocolate chip cookie recipes. I tried this one out on Saturday. The cookies were yummy and my favorite part was then there are no eggs, so I got to satisfy my cookie dough craving.

Ingredients:

2/14 Cups Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking soda
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup (pressed) dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (pressed) light brown sugar
2 heaping tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla syrup
1 cup butter
24 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cream the butter and white sugar, add peanut butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Add both the light and dark brown sugar. Tip: pressing the brown sugar helps reduce little hard sugar balls in the batter. Combine dry ingredients and sift into wet mixture thoroughly. Add chocolate chips and peanuts, if desired. This batter is very good with white chocolate chips and even better with butterscotch chips! Use a teaspoon to measure the cookies size and bake for about 8-10 minutes. Do not allow them to brown.

Bake at 375°F

Super Yummy Craisin Ramen Salad

So I have chosen this recipe to start off my recipe blog because like most things I make, the recipe it scribbled on a random piece of paper that I almost threw away and parts I kinda made up a little so I better write it done before I for get.

I actually got this recipe from Emma Wright and I love it

Salad:

Green leaf lettuce

one apple (I like Gala or honey crisp for this)

Craisins

finely chopped green onions

Prepared 2 packs sauteed Ramen Noodles

Ramen Noodles:

Melt 1/2 cup butter in saute pan. Then add 1/2 cup sugar (try regular or brown). Once they are combined add in the ramen. You will need to move it around and break it up. Once all the butter/sugar mixture is absorbed add in 1/2 table spoon (or just sprinkle in as much as looks good) sesame seeds.

I like to make this ahead of time so I have it on hand when I go to make the salad

Put is all together:

Ok so to through it all together just wash and cut up a head of lettuce, the cut up the apple into small thing pieces, add about half a pack of Craisins, add a few green onions (I only do a few because I am not a big onion fan, but add more if you like more), cut or brake off about half the ramen. Last toss with the dressing.

The dressing:

This makes a lot of dressing, like enough for 4 0r 5 large salads. So I half it or 1/3 it sometimes.

2 cups Salad oil

3/4 cup cider vinegar

1 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp prepared mustard

2 TBS poppy seeds

Just through all dressing ingredients in a blender and turn it on.

I also more this dressing as a seasoning for chicken. When I made this salad for my mother-in-laws birthday dinner, I also put some chicken in a backing dish with a bit of Italian dressing and some of this dressing. I cooked it covered at about 415 degrees for 45 mins.
