Feature: The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe for National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day

If you bake nothing else this year, be sure to try the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe - a reader favorite.

It’s not the standard chocolate chip cookie recipe on the back of Toll House Drop packages.

And it’s hard to say what makes this recipe so popular. Maybe it’s the extra chocolate chips. Or the tweaked proportions of granulated sugar and brown sugar.

Whatever.

Just make sure you try it once this year. Preferably soon. And let us know how your Best Chocolate Chip Cookies turn out. Post your pics on The Cookie Elf Facebook page to share with other cookie elves!

Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Bake time: 11-12 minutes
Makes about 4 dozen large cookies

Craftsy: DIY for Free for 7 Days


Craftsy: if you like to make or bake or build or create – or if you’re into DIY – you’ll want to spend some time wandering around Craftsy’s site for ideas.

I confess that I nearly go on overload when I log on. It’s so much fun! You can watch free Craftsy classes with lifetime access and downloadable tutorials. Just tune in on your own schedule and re-watch as often as you like. Plus find plenty of support along the way in chat forums with fellow enthusiasts in quilting, knitting, crochet, paper craft, embroidery, photography, gardening, spinning, woodworking, baking, cooking, jewelry making…

Yes, there’s a tutorial for that, plus Craftsy pros also offer independent designer patterns and forums, too.

One thing I like to do is regularly check Craftsy’s free classes and the daily clearance on supplies (it changes all the time as clearance items go out of stock and new supplies go on sale).

If you find you are addicted to Craftsy you can get a 7 day free trial of Craftsy Unlimited that gives you all kinds of extra goodies and discount benefits.

Have fun. I know I will.
