I must admit it was a needed break from the everyday routine of blogging but I'm ready to start posting again and thought I'd share with you the cookie recipe I made yesterday with the girls.
This recipe comes in handy during this time of year when it seems candy is plentiful. I always make this recipe a few times after Halloween especially to use up all the girls leftover candy bars.
I use the always yummy classic Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie recipe, but add chopped up candy bars (my favorite to use and that I've found cook well in the dough are Symphony toffee bars and Milky Way bars), along with Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips. YUM!Ingredients
•2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
•1 teaspoon baking soda
•1 teaspoon salt
•1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
•3/4 cup granulated sugar
•3/4 cup packed brown sugar
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•2 large eggs
•1/2 - 1 cup Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips
•1 Symphony chocolate bar with toffee chips, 1 king size milky way bar - put in freezer for a half hour before chopping to make it easier to chop into tiny pieces.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and candy bar bits. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.BAKE for 8-9 minutes or until golden brown appears along edges. Remove to wire racks to cool completely immediately after removing from the oven. ENJOY!
I will always be a milk chocolate chip lover. I prefer my cookies with milk chocolate and not semi-sweet. What do you prefer?

Yea your back! I checked earlier to see if you had posted yet because I remembered it was supposed to be today. :) I am a dark chocolate or semi-sweet chip kind of girl. Although I also love white chocolate macadamia nut cookies too. Your cookies look very yummy.
milk chocolate all the way.
I vote that you post a recipe every week (or more) because I love your recipes! I have an {erica} section in my cookbook now and use it frequently. Pretty please?
Semi-sweet for me. Milk is a little too sweet for me. I think I'll be trying these cookies very soon. Welcome back!
I need these now. But I don't want to make them. I want someone else to.
I will bookmark this one. Like you said, great way to use up Halloween candy.
semi-sweet:) and those look yummy! glad you're back erica.
milk chocolate all the way, all though during the holidays, I spring for Andes peppermint chips gosh they're good! If you haven't yet, you should seriously try them.
Yum! Those look delish! I am also liking your gourds too.
Milk chocolate all the way for sure!

YUMMY! What a great idea. I'm sorry to say that I have been a total blog reading slacker. I had to read all the way to here just to get caught up. Let me start by saying your girls are just beautiful! I love looking at all the pictures. It's really good to catch up on what's new with you and Bret. Wish we had all of our friends back for a killer halloween party this year. We sure miss everyone!!
