COOKIES!! by Lance Rider

It’s that time of year for me, if you are like me, you’re looking to keep warm. A great way to keep warm for me is kicking on the oven and making comfort foods that I can enjoy and share. In this particular case,,, COOKIES!!! I do love good cookies and I have chosen a couple of my personal favorites to share and help make the upcoming months festive! Enjoy!

February Valentine’s Day Recipe INGREDIENTS 1 Egg 1 ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour ½ teaspoon Baking Soda ½ cup Brown Sugar 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract ½ cup White Sugar 1 ½ cup White Chocolate Chips 1 ¼ cup Red Velvet Cake Mix ¾ cup Butter DIRECTIONS: Using a paddle attachment, cream butter and both sugars until smooth and creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add in flour, cake mix, and baking soda until a smooth dough is formed. Then, add in chocolate chips. Let dough chill at least 2 hours. Chilling prevents the cookie from spreading too thin while baking. Bake at 325° for 9-11 minutes. Cookies may not seem fully cooked but will firm up when cooled. Yield: 24 cookies.
