ahhhh! i left a comment and then my computer had a malfunction and didn't post it...darn technology!
so, here I go again.
First, you will have to give me a few days to get EIGHT of each thing posted. And your list of songs...I sang every title in my head as I read them...high school memories.
Second, are you trying to find the perfect recipe to a chocolate chip cookie? I might have a few tricks (i LOVE Chocolate chip cookies)...but then I would have to kill you...HAHAHA!
Loved to read your 8 things. Makes me miss you too! Ok, so don't be mad but I already did this 8 things tag - so if you want to read it go here.
Arah-- For some reason the chocolate chip cookies I make come out either really flat with just the chips sticking up or in balls. Not pretty like every other cookie I make.
I believe you are overmixing your batter. If you cream the butter and sugar first, then add in the eggs and salt and vanilla. mix that then add in the flour and soda until it is just mixed together then add in your chocolate chips, again, just enough to mix them in, then bake at 400 for no longer than 8 minutes. see how they turn out. let me know if it helps. I also found out that weather will make a difference too.
I love Jennifer Weiner. Good in Bed was a good book. YOu have to read her other books as well if you haven't get.
