Gotta love when you have a slow morning! No obligations, just sit in your pjs, sip on a hot beverage and just do something for you. If I’m having a slow morning for myself I’m having a coffee with either a book, do a bit of baking, a puzzle or play solitaire card games.

What does a slow morning look like for you?

We definitely thought about leaving to go back down to the boat and hit up the beaches to bask in the warmth of the Sun this past few days, because damn it’s cold AF outside🥶

Did you escape these freezing temps? Or are you hunkered at home questioning why we live here 😆?

Bahaha wow thanks ChatGPT. Love the last line “please validate my hobbies” 🤣 🤣 🤣

✨ SAVE THIS RECIPE ✨
The most simple, fluffy cookies you will ever make! I have been using this recipe for years and it never disappoints. These cookies are amazing to freeze too. For fun cookie variations read further down!

Cookie Dough Base Recipe
3/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Variations:
1. Chocolate Chip: add 1 cup of chocolate chips
2. Oatmeal Walnut Cinnamon: add 2 tsp Cinnamon, 1 tsp Nutmeg and 3/4 quick oats, 1/2 cup chopped Walnuts (don’t like walnuts just omit them and they are just as delicious)
3. Mini Egg cookies: 1 Cup of mini eggs and maybe some extras (measure with your heart 😉)
4. Grinch Cookies: add green food coloring until desired hue of green (add 1 cup chocolate chips to make them extra special)

Tip: make a double batch as these will be eaten very quickly!

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars until fluffy and light in color. Add egg and vanilla and blend in.
3. Mix in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chunks.
4. Using a standard-sized cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges. (The tops will not brown, but do NOT cook longer than ten minutes.)
5. Let cool, on the sheet, on a wire rack for five minutes. Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely.
