The Albertson's Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) packages chocolate chips
walnuts, if you want them

Directions
Cream together sugars and butter until light and fluffy in large bowl. Add eggs one a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla, beat well. In a smaller bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Add gradually to wet ingredients until completely combined. Stir in entire package of chocolate chips and nuts if you desire.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet (or just drop in your mouth).

Bake at 375 F until browned, about 12 minutes.

Why are there no cookies allowed?

It seems only natural for me to begin my very 1st post with an announcement, "today, I am cookie free!" And that my friends, is a beautiful thing!

I chose the name for my blog as "No Cookies Allowed". It seems to be the perfect segway into what my goals are with this blog; what my hopes are for the future of this blog; and what are ultimately my own personal goals. That of course is to be cookie free! Ok realistically, do I want to be cookie free. No! Would I love to enjoy the occasional Albertson's, freshly baked, melt in your mouth, chocolate chip cookie. (Which we just recently started microwaving for 10 seconds and OMG... seriously, it is almost as good as sex!)

With that being said, we may not allow cookies on this blog, but I am hopeful that the other items I will allow, will be of some use to you today and in the future.

Cheers to you for a cookie free kind of day!
