It’s Friday, and we had no plans tonight except our usual Friday night of watching movies and baking. It’s my favorite thing to do, stay home and bake (as you know). So we built a Gingerbread man house, watched Charlie Browns Thanksgiving special (thanksgiving is less than a week away). Since I’m going to be baking nothing but pies from here on out, I wanted to just bake us some night time comfort cookies. You know what I’m talkin about people.
Tonight’s Recipe:
SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

2 1/2 cups Flour

1 cup chocolate chips

*Caramel sauce recipe:
1 packed cup brown sugar
1/2 cup half and half
4 tablespoons butter
Pinch of salt
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Mix the brown sugar, 1/2 & 1/2 , butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium low heat. Cook while whisking gently for 5-7 min, until it gets thicker. Add the vanilla and cook another minute to thicken further. Turn off the heat and cool slightly and pour the sauce into the jar, refrigerate until chilled., about 1 hour. I already had some chilled in the fridge so I used my stash. :)
And I did make a delicious cup of Hot Toddy Tea
