I have been meaning to get a picture of Lilly riding forever, glad my man was there today to help. We had a fantasic day doing all sorts of odds and ends on the farm.

Chocolate chip cookies

So, I've been into bringing back the childhood foods lately and found a cookie recipe that is sinfully good. I'm gonna let you all in on my secret. How cool are the milk glasses?! They are my latest Fretex find and go perfect with the cookies!

Ingredients
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir with fork so all ingredients are mixed.
In large bowl, combine sugars, and butter. Mix until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth and fluffy.
Add 1 cup of dry ingredients at a time to mixture until all is incorporated. Drop cookies onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
