Christmas Cookies

Every year I try to make Christmas cookies.  To be specific Chocolate Chip cookies and every year they turn out horribly.  They either end up burnt or way under done.  One year I even misread the instructions and doubled the butter.


This year I was determined to make the cookies and not have them fail.  If they did, I vowed I was never going to make a Chocolate Chip cookie again.  I set out to make sure that I had freshest ingredients and I promised myself to be patient.  I decided to let the butter and eggs get to room temperature, instead of straight from the fridge and I used a small ice cream scoop.  I double checked in directions and did everything that I was suppose to do.

After I don't know after how many years, I was able to make the perfect Chocolate Chip cookie.

And they turned out great!  I had finally conquered the Chocolate Chip cookie.  I don't know if it was the butter and eggs at room temperature or the ice cream scoop, but all I know is now at Christmas time I will be able to make one of my favorite cookies!
