My daughter asked for chocolate chip cookies the other day. I do make yummy cookies if I do say so myself. My waist, bum, and tummy size proves how good they are.
To make them a tad bit cheaper I use a trick my mom did when I was growing up. I double the recipe, but I don't double the chocolate chips. Instead of 4 cups of chocolate chips a double recipe asks for I just put in 3 cups.
There are more than enough chips to go around. My daughter actually likes less chips in hers. Last night she saved that last baked chipless cookie for her bedtimes snack. You know the one made from scraping the last bits of dough from the sides of the bowl.
I bagged a little more than half of them up and stuck them in the freezer for lunch boxes. (Yes, I use baggies. That is another post!) Batch cooking for lunchbox treats is the only way to go around here! Get them in the freezer before they disappear!
I linked this post to Jenn's Tasty Tuesday (even though it is Friday today) at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam.
