Food Processors
I used my food processor for the very first time this week (it's been in its box for more than 6 months now, LOL)... and I think I'm in love. I made Nigella's Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake and frosting in it, and it was so easy!

The Best Chocolate Cookie Recipe Ever (Unless You Have a Better One)
The breakfast cookie recipe looks very similar to Alton Brown's The Chewy- which is one of my favorite CCC recipes, and always a crowd pleaser. I really want to try Meg Hourihan's, but the measurements make my head want to explode.

This is obviously Lechon Kawali, not just Lechon. One of my favorite dishes!
Are Expensive Pans Necessarily Better?
My cheap pans ALWAYS plink, and freak me out!
Alright. Do people really hate fruitcake?
My husband and I are fruitcake lovers, and can go through a fruitcake pretty fast... Just like all food, there are bad ones and good ones.
Question of the Day: What's your guilty pleasure?
McD's fries... sometimes I just have to have them.

The Best Chocolate Cookie Recipe Ever (Unless You Have a Better One)
These chocolate chip breakfast cookies are the most awsome cookies I have ever tasted, I am not a big chocolate chip cookie fan (maybe because I never found a recipe I liked!) I made these and now we can't stop making them! my husband me and my 5 kids are addicted to them. I always make a double batch. I think something about melting the butter and adding the brown sugar to it makes it taste like nothing I have ever tasted in a cookie. you can even over cook them and they still taste incredible! I will never use another chocolate chip cookie recipe.

I think the best is the Nieman Marcus recipe that circulates around sometimes---with the ground up oatmeal & chopped milk chocolate in addition to the semi sweet chips, brown sugar, etc. Scoop onto lightly sprayed pans, wet fingers & mash down slightly. If baked right they are the quinticential perfect crunchy around the outside, softer/slightly chewy in the middle.

I use Meg's recipe, slightly adapted for my sanity (I converted everything to weights and then rounded things up or down to make my life easier). You know what? It really is a mean chocolate chip cookie.

I have my own recipe, devised to have my favorite aspects of chocolate chip cookies: a little chew, a little crunch, and just enough chocolate.
Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't want to try every recipe I come across just in case they're better. I suspect everyone has a touch of the grass-is-greener mentality when it comes to cookies.

I've never found a recipe that works better than the Toll House classic.

The breakfast cookie sounds great, but instead of cranberries, I'd do dried cherries. Cherries & chocolate? Wow!

Anyone try Tia Harrison's "The Perfect" Chocolate Chip Cookies from CHOW?

Alton Brown's the Chewy. Best. Cookies. Ever.

I actually used this recipe for about a year...until I bought Baking Illustrated and was totally sold on theirs! It's much chewier (but still with a crisp edge), and I think that the flavor of the cookie part is superior. The instructions and explanation of the recipe are also, as is expected from the Cooks Illustrated crew, extremely and awesomely precise!
We all have our favorite, though, so no hard feelings :)

Meg's Extremely Precise made my eyes roll back in my head. I'm too old to learn this. Please, pretty precise and easy to understand is all I can handle.
I have to start baking and tasting. Wow, these all sound so delicious. Truthfully, is there anything better than a chocolate chip cookie? Ok, I hear you, but I'm talking about sweets here!!! ;-D
