I was blog-stalking Lauren Clark yesterday and I came across her recipe for her yummy chocolate chip cookies, so I decided to try my hand at them. I have never been very good at making cookies from scratch; I have always bought the refrigerated dough and slapped them in the oven and called ‘em homemade. But these turned out awesome and now I don’t think I’ll ever go back to Pillsbury break ‘n’ bake :D I am not, nor do I claim to be, a food photographer so the pic sucks, but you get the idea. They are really as yummy as they look! Recipe is in the linky link :) The only thing I changed was milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet, but I am a rebel like that.

I also got a whim to make some grown up macaroni and cheese I saw on the Food Network. This took a lot more preperation than the old Velveeta shells and cheese that I am used to, but it was really delicious and made a ton of food!

The directions are in the link. I edited it to my taste as I am not an onion lover and I used smoked cheddar instead of sharp (OMG heaven in my mouth) but it was still yummy. Anyway, this has been your installment of “Cooking with Amy” for today. Happy eating!
