I made butter

Yesterday I got some milk for working at a local farm.
Milk has a cream that you can skim off of the top, which we did. Then we put that cream into a jar, shook like crazy, pressed, and added Himalayan salt. The results? Delicious butter.

This stuff is really good. And should be good for 5 - 6 days, it will be fine after that taste wise, but the smell will start to become like a Parmesan cheese (Bet that would be great on homemade bread) ♥

Finally! The best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe!

It was my friend's birthday yesterday and I wanted to make him some chocolate chip cookies as a present. Thanks to my amazing friend Kyle I now have a recipe that's simple yet amazing (No, really). These turned out great. Actually I feel a little silly, it's the same recipe I've used before but instead of butter it's vegetable shortening. Something I've considered before but never put into practice.

I wanted to make a special big birthday cookie

So I melted some chocolate and had fun

Ingredients:

1 cup shortening

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 package chocolate chips 

(It originally called for butterscotch chips, which he's made me, they are great!)

Directions:

1. Cream together shortening, brown sugar and white sugar.

2. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

3. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to creamed mixture.

4. Stir in one pack of chip. Spoon out onto baking sheet.

5. Bake at 375°F for 8-12 minutes.

Enjoy :)
