Sheila's Chocolate Chip Cookies
The almond and peppermint variations
(Note: For those recieving this who are not moms or people making them for
groups, this recipe makes a LOT of cookies but they freeze well. The dough
also freezes well.)
2 cups butter, softened
2 teaspoons baking soda
4 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups sugar (or vanilla sugar)
1 teaspoon peppermint extract or 1 teaspoon almond extract
4-½ cups flour (can add more if mixture isn't thick enough)
2 teaspoons of cocoa powder
1 12 oz package chocolate chips
1 cup broken up walnuts
1 cup coconut
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter, sugars, extracts (peppermint and
vanilla) together. Add the eggs and beat well. Sift together the flour,
baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. (Or you can do like I do add the baking
soda, salt and cocoa powder in. Mix those ingredients in well then add the
flour.) Slowly start adding to the creamed mixture. Add the chocolate and
the walnuts into the dough After the dough is thoroughly mixed. Drop by
teaspoonful onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.

allergic reaction.

Ruth, Lon and Gwen were at Mom and Dad's yesterday so the kids and I went over. I made cookies for Lon, Ruth got handmade jewelry and Gwen a bath set. The girls got perfume, Sam a ball and I got a book of funny things people have put on gravestones. Helen snitched it when we arrived home so I haven't had a chance to really look at it.
Jealousy struck me though I admi when I saw Ruth's present from Mom and Dad, she got a 12 piece candle set plus 5 scudgies. (One for each month of the year and a candle holder.) I was given 5 scudgies too for dishes as well 2 loaves of quick bread. Don't get me wrong I love my mom's quick bread but I had taken the quick bread as a family gift until about half an hour after I saw what Ruth had recieved. That was when I realized it had been my present not the whole families.
