The Secret to the Best Cookies


I've grown up making the chocolate chip cookie recipe from the back of the Nestle chocolate chip bag. That's how my grandma does it, that's how my mom does- it's a tried and true recipe. However, they were never the perfect cookies. I could follow the recipe exactly or switch it up a little, but the actual baking process never seemed to go as planned. Unfortunately, inside the 375° F oven is right where I lose my control.

 Enter Christmas time. The ultimate cookie baking season. You need good cookies- ones to impress your neighbors at the party, ones to get you a nice bonus when you give some to your boss. There's a lot riding on these cookies (who knew?). 


Luckily, my grandma got my mom the best Christmas present and I was lucky enough to benefit from this. The Williams-Sonoma Goldtouch® Nonstick Cookie Sheet is the answer to all your prayers. A single sheet priced at $29.95 is a small price to pay for the perfect cookies and will practically pay for itself in the use you get out of it in addition to the many compliments and praise from your cookie critics!
After refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes, then balling up the cookie dough to put on the sheet, the cookies came out thick and magnificently rounded. There were no crunchy edges. Instead of melting out to a bigger base, the cookies stayed compact. And not to mention the ease of getting them off the cookie sheet! No crumb was lost on this truly nonstick sheet. All it took was a tap of a plastic (don't use metal!) spatula and they were on their way to a cooling rack. 




I shared my amazing cookies with friends at a Star Wars movie marathon and was complimented on my perfect ratio of chocolate chips. I used the normal amount in the recipe, but let me tell you- the shape of the cookies led chocolate chip on top of chocolate chip, not the thin, spread out, "I can see the exact location of my chocolate chips" type of cookies you get from prepackaged dough.

And so, I highly recommend this cookie sheet and you will see for yourself the life changing cookie results!

{Day Three} 6 Days of Denim

The third outfit of the series is perfect for lunch on hot day. It's cute and a decorative tank and shorts will help keep you cool!   //Tank top (old)- American Eagle//Shorts- American Eagle //Sandals- Jack Rogers //Sunnies- Forever 21, DIY//Necklace (old)- Forever 21//   These shorts are the perfect length. They're also the only pair I bought without any rips in them!   The blush pink "lace knit" tank is a perfect pair with these shorts! The color keeps it neutral while the design has all the flair.   I got my first pair of Jack Rogers sandals this summer! I could write a whole post on just these shoes, but I've contained my love for now. The platinum color is one of the best for a first pair- it goes with almost everything.   A close up of my sunnies! I love the nod to 50's sunglasses with the slight cat eye shape. Also, I added the flowers on myself (DIY!!). While they're not my most often worn pair of sunglasses, the...

New Year, Same Me

Image
Quick throwback to 3 years ago when I started this blog! And … back to the present. People always have lots to say when this new beginning rolls around. A chance to start fresh, be productive, and to reinvent your image. I say, scrap it. The world seems to be in agreement that 2016 was the closest we’ve been to hell on earth. However, life is just a continuation. Unless you’re one of those cute, little babies with a January 1, 2017 birthday, nothing much has really changed. Here's to more blurry pictures and good times  For as many people read this blog, this post is as much to hold myself accountable as to give advice to the world from my point of you. Here’s the big idea: don’t change, just be a better you. That doesn’t mean you need to go on a juice cleanse and hit up the gym more, or put a little more effort in getting ready, or even reading double the usual amount of books. I’m just saying take care of yourself a little more. Capture the moment with Fujifilm Ins...

Cards Against Humanity with a Twist

Image
My friend Sarah came over last night so we could watch the One Direction movie, This Is Us, which came out last year. She still hadn't seen it! Not only that, but we decided to play Cards Against Humanity . It's a card game that requires four people or more if you really want to get the laughs going.     With only the two of us, we took a little advice from our favorite YouTubers! Hannah Hart (feat. Jenna Marbles) and  Connor Franta (feat. Tyler Oakley) dubbed a new, two person version of this game: Charades Against Humanity. I think this might be better than the original intention of the game. I couldn't decide whether it was more fun to act out or guess crazy ridiculous things! We took cues from the YouTubers such as "overall concept", "sounds like", and other charade gestures. It really helped that we had both seen the videos, so we knew what the other was aiming for.     My experience with the normal way of playing CAH is somew...
