Happy Monday!<\/p>\n

Okay, so Mondays usually remind me of the Boomtown Rats song that Tori Amos later covered. I (usually) don’t like Mondays. It is the death of the weekend and all of that. But I made cookies on Sunday and, seeing them on the kitchen counter the next morning, I instantly felt like today would be good. What can be bad when you have cookies with sprinkles!?<\/p>\n

Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/span>
makes 20 cookies<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 1\/4 cup all-purpose flour<\/span><\/span><\/i>
1\/2 teaspoon baking soda<\/span><\/span><\/i>
1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/span><\/span><\/i>
1\/4 cup white sugar<\/span><\/span><\/i>
1 stick butter or margarine, softened<\/span><\/span><\/i>
1\/2 cup light brown sugar<\/span><\/span><\/i>
1 egg<\/span><\/span><\/i>
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/span><\/span><\/i>
1 cup chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet)<\/span><\/span><\/i>
1 TB sprinkles (optional)<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You’ll need: 2 medium bowls, 1 large spoon, 1 teaspoon, baking sheet, nonstick spray\/baking mat, oven<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

step one: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine first four (dry) ingredients in a bowl and set aside. In the second bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

step two: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and sprinkles. Using both spoons, form balls about the size of a golf ball and set on the cookie sheet. Repeat until 12-15 dough balls are formed.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

step three: Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from oven, let sit for 1-2 minutes, then transfer cookies to a cooling rack or a cool plate. Yummm.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
