I love anything made with chocolate. Especially chocolate chip cookies! Thank you Martha Stewart for this wonderful recipe!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bake
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (about 12 ounces) semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
*If you do not have an electric mixer, then combine ingredients with hand mixer or by hand. However you normally make cookies
*
Spray bottom of 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread cookie dough mixture evenly into dish.
Bake until golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, about 15 to 20minutes. Oven times may vary
. Remove from oven, and cool. Cut cookie bake into squares. Enjoy! Be sure to store in an air tight container.
***You can make normal chocolate chip cookies with the ingredients above. Change baking time to a 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.***

Happy Friday everyone! If you were here last Friday, then you know I promised an update each week on my front entrance makeover. I do have a small update to share
. Last Saturday, we made a family trip to Home Depot. Who knew that growing up and owning a house also meant frequent trips to the hardware store? My husband needed fertilizer for the lawn – he does a great job with our yard! Then we strolled down the outdoor light aisle. So many pretty lights, but so little money
. However, we did find this one for $29.97!

Definitely not fancy. Very simple. Very affordable. Very us
