COFFEE...SNOW...NESTLE TOLL HOUSE COOKIE BARS...YUM!

I am sitting at the computer, drinking some coffee, and it is SNOWING outside! It looks lovely from inside my house...it isn't going to be so lovely when I have to go out in it! I don't mind the snow, really I don't. It adds to my Christmas-y mood!

Today I am going to be doing some baking ; I really want to take some baked goods over to the neighbors and have not accomplished this yet. I am also going to be wrapping some gifts (ssssshhh..they are hidden somewhere, but I can't tell you where, because my family likes to read this blog!) :)
Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pan Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, softened (Have no butter on hand? Butter does have a distinct flavor that is best in cookies, but using margarine won't change the consistency)
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped nuts (I like pecans) (optional)

Directions

• 1. Preheat oven to 375; Grease a 15x10" jelly roll pan.
• 2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
• 3. Beat butter, both sugars & vanilla in large mixer bowl.
• 4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
• 5. Gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture.
• 6. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
• 7. Spread into prepared pan.
• 8. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

*If you want really thick bars, you can make these in a 9x13 but I would increase the baking time to around 30 minutes.

Anyone else baking today? Or doing shopping? Fill me in on YOUR activities during this last weekend before Christmas!! :)

This is a picture of the Impossible Pumpkin Pie that I blogged about earlier this week. Let me just say that it was incredibly easy to make and very, very yummy. It was a huge hit, and I am going to file this in my "make next year" recipes!
