Blake came home from school today and decided he wanted to play "cooking show." He pretended just as on Food Network how to make and prepare his own version of chocolate chip cookies (or as stated in his recipe, gourmet chocolate chip cookies) He had ALL the ingredients scattered about the counter as he talked and walked us through the process of his famous cookie recipe.
This is a copy of his recipe. He actually wrote the recipe just before the "show" started. He told me it was my souvenir for attending. ( and helping) He wanted me to file this "one and only" gourmet recipe in case I wanted to make these cookies again someday. My favorite part is when he mentions using a "twitch" of vanilla. That vocabulary is so Blake!
He proceeded to tell just how to put the cookies on the cookie sheet and in what order so that they wouldn't melt into one another. It was a hoot!
This I must say, was the BEST part! I explained to Blake, I'd never seen anyone on Food Network describe how to lick the beater when finished sharing a recipe. His reply; " really? that's the best part." "And it tastes sooooooo yummy."
Thank you to Blake, for inspiring me to use a recipe more often, and most of all, giving permission to "lick the beater" when following his recipe. :)

That is so hilarious! I am laughing so hard right now. Twitch of vanilla. He is so adorable--but don't tell him I said that. Tell him I said he is a super cooking hero! And he is!
Wow, your son is a true baker! The cookies look so perfect and he even wrote his own recipe...now that's cool! Seriously though, the best part is licking the beaters for sure. We are headed to Idaho for Thanksgiving and since my mom is doing the dinner solo-handedly, the kids and I decided we'd do a bit of our Christmas baking early since they don't have school Wed. and we won't head out tell Wed. night, that way we won't show up to Thanksgiving empty handed and it'll give the whole fam extra snacks through out the weekend. Anyways, your cookies are making me anxious to bake- they look really tastey right about now.
Hailey and Taylor do that together too and I love it! You must have been laughing at the lick the beater comment :-)
I had to enlarge the picture and read the recipe. He cracks me up. So did he follow his recipe or a "real" one.
