cookies!!!!!

Made my favorite cookie recipe Friday night and since I can't share an actual cookie with you I thought I'd share the recipe. It's easy and impossible to mess up. And  my favorite part is that you don't even have to break out the mixer...all you need is a whisk and wooden spoon.

Ingredients
1c. butter, softened
3/4c sugar
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2.5c all purpose flour
1/2c semisweet chocolate chips (or more if you are like me and want extra chocolate)
For Coating:
1.5tbsp sugar
1.5tbsp cinnamon

1. Preheat the oven to 375degrees. Line cookies sheets with parchment or grease pans.
2. Put butter and sugar  into a bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon, then beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Stir flour into the mixture and add the chocolate chips. Batter will be thick and you might need to knead verses stir. Mix until thoroughly combined.
3. For the coating mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. (I like to add a little more sugar than cinnamon)Scoop out tablespoons of the cookie dough, roll them into balls and then roll  them in the cinnamon mixture to coat.
4. Bake for 12-14 minutes (Mine are always done in 12).Cool on racks.
Makes @ 30

Experiment with different mix ins- Instead of chocolate chips try peanut butter chips. Or add raisins, nuts, dried cranberries- whatever is your favorite!

ENJOY!
