A nice big bag of cookies
I finally found a nice, simple recipe for chewy chocolate chip cookies.
226g butter at room temperature
200g granulated sugar
210g light brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
390g flour
2 tsp baking soda
510g chocolate chunks
Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add flour, salt, baking soda and mix slowly until combined.
Add chocolate chunk and mix.
Bake at 175C for 12-15 minutes.
From the Homesick Texan blog
Ingredients
450g sugar
250g flour
226g butter
4 tablespoons of cocoa
240ml water
2 eggs lightly beaten
120ml buttermilk
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Preheat oven to 205 degrees.
Sift the sugar and flour together in a bowl.
Melt the butter on low in a saucepan, and when melted add cocoa and water and heat until boiling.
Pour cocoa mix over sugar and flour and mix well with a spoon.
Add eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, and mix well with a spoon.
Pour batter into greased 9×13 inch pan, and bake for about 30 minutes, checking it at 20 minutes.
Pour icing over cake when you take it out of the oven
Icing
113g butter
4 tablespoons of cocoa
90ml milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla

240ml chopped pecans

Five minutes before cake is done, bring to a boil the butter, cocoa and milk.
Remove from heat, and mix in sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nuts.
Beat well, and then spread over cake while both are still warm.

Some great things this month. Empowered always rocks! Superman Unchained by Jim Lee and Scott Snyder (the title is very, very bad, though). Astro City is back!!! I am and always will be an X-Files fanboy so I am actually looking forward to more stories set in the X-Files universe. And last but not least there is more Herobear.
