Conversation from this morning:

Me: You can use this stamp to make birds on your paper, see? Stamp.

Superbaby: Stamp table?

Me: No, don't stamp the table, buddy, just stamp your paper.

Superbaby: Stamp chair?

Me: No just stamp the paper, here's the stamp, go ahead.

Superbaby: Stamp hand?

Me: Okay, you can stamp your hand.

Superbaby: Stamp. Stamp knee?

Me: I guess you can stamp your...

Superbaby: Stamp. Stamp head? Stamp, stamp. Stamp nose? Stamp. Stamp mouth? Stamp.

Me: Alright, that's enough stamps for you...

How come I would look good in a bikini? Why are you always picking on me?

I Heart Chocolate

June 18, 2009 // Baking / Crafts

My favorite Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed light-brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs

3 to 4 cups milk chocolate chips (about 24 ounces)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add salt, vanilla and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet.

Don't you wish you still lived here, Jon?
