{recipe} soft & chewy chocolate chip cookies

I think I have 6 different "favorite" chocolate chip cookie recipes. It's just that, I get bored. Don't get me wrong, I'll make a winning recipe over and over again but I also love trying new stuff. I recently made these insane chocolate chip cookies and I'm never looking back. I'm so glad I stored some pre-portioned dough in the freezer for all those immediate cookie cravings. 

These cookies don't spread much when they cook precisely because the dough needs to be refrigerated before baking. Don't plan on making these cookies and eating them in 30 minutes. The crucial step is letting the dough chill which takes at least 2 hours. They are small but mighty delicious. They come out of the oven thick and gooey and they stay that way even after they cool. This is the chewiest, chocolatiest cookie I've ever had. Also, feel free to use your favorite combination of chocolate chips. This is just what I had on hand.

When C and I first started venturing into the world of Paleo eating, I was a bit bummed that I'd have to give up baking. But, to my excitement, there are lots of great recipes out there for Paleo-friendly baked goods. So you know I had to give it a try and see if they compared to the "real stuff".

Verdict. They are amazing. Super good for you which is an added bonus!

A few weeks back, my friend's sister asked if I'd be interested in making golf themed cupcakes for her son's 2nd birthday. She remembered a while back when I casually mentioned on this blog that I wanted to get paid to bake things for people. I was so honored and flattered that she asked me (and that she reads this blog!). I of course agreed and got right to work planning.

Bethany requested "cupcakes-in-a-jar" which is a big trend these days all over pinterest. I had made them once before so I was confident I could pull it off for Palmer's party.

The cupcakes turned out just right and from what I hear, they were a hit at the party. But I didn't just want them to look good, I wanted them to taste good too. I mean, after all, Bethany wasn't paying me to make cupcakes that looked awesome but tasted like crap.
