Best Cookies EVERRRR!!!!!!

Yay! to my first recipe that I tried on Pinterest post!  So I made these a few years ago and I forgot how amazing they are!!!!  These are seriously the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever made; they are so soft and chocolatey.  The only downside is when I made them I ended up with over 100 cookies in the end.  I originally made them for my aunts superbowl party which ended up being cancelled due to a family emergency.  Lets just say I took a bunch to work and gave a bunch to my dad.  Well here is the awesome recipe.

Ingredients
1 pound unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups plus 2 tablespoons pastry flour
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 pounds bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Reduce speed to low and add both flours, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and chocolate; mix until well combined.
- Using a 4-ounce scoop for larger cookies or a 1-ounce scoop for smaller cookies, scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake until lightly browned, but still soft, about 20 minutes for larger cookies and about 15 minutes for smaller cookies.
- Cool slightly on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

MIA oops!

Seems as though I let almost a week pass before I realized I have been neglecting this lovely blog....

Nothing really new to report;  I found a new washer and dryer that I am going to be purchasing in the next week or so and that will be it for spending and then I'm going to start saving..for what I don't know.  I feel like tax return season is really the only time I spend money for myself or to at least treat myself to something nice.  I'm pretty much over the "got to have a Coach purse phase."  I did buy my first pair of Ugg boats though; which I must add, from a lady at the store, if I take good care of them the will last for at least 5 years.  So I am going to say the best 155$ I spent.  The girls are pretty much set on clothes considering Aubree has Abby's clothes from when she was younger and Abby I have been doing here and there with Clearance ranks at stores.  I even got Chris a few shirts as well.  I putting off buying any clothes for myself until I am comfortable enough with my weight.  I've lost 12lbs since I've been at Briggs but I do see myself slacking here and there and packing Mini Corn Dogs; or a mini bag of Doritos.  I feel like I will be happy with myself being a size 8; I won't be a string bean but yet still have some meat on my bones. 

I am thinking about doing my autobiography about my life and why I chose to go with Agnosticism.  I posted something previously about a lady that posted basically her life story in which events in her life led her to here change from being Christian.  Something that I will share most people don't even know but a select few;  I may even get emotional myself for some of the things I've been through.  I wasn't raised in a "perfect" family.  I am hoping posting about events in my life will give people understanding. 

Well; laptop is dying so I will update later.

**WARNING** May Cause Controversy***

So as you all know I came out as Agnostic a few weeks ago and I have found a safe haven on a Facebook group where I can't be judged and have support.  Sometimes the Admin will post scripture from the Bible that are just demeaning to women and so on... 

One of them was a verse from 1 Timothy 2:11-12  A Woman should learn in quietness and full submission.  I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man: she must be quiet.

This is seriously one of the reason why I chose who I am;  I am such a feminist and that last thing I need is a man telling me how to do things and that I have to obey him.  I am my own person!  I am not a mans slave.  I am strongly a believer in equality among genders.  The funny thing is I see myself teaching other men how to do things.  Chris hardly knew what to do when we had our daughter; it felt nice to be teaching someone something that I had knowledge of because I've been there with my first born.   I love being able to teach others something new; the last thing I want is being told by a book that I shouldn't be teaching others and that I should submit to a man.  At my new job, yes, I had men show me how to do things but you know what I didn't have to be quiet; I got to put my input in or ask questions.

Rant Over.
