A Little Care Package

Sweet Daughter won't be home for Thanksgiving. It will leave a big hole at our table Thanksgiving Day. I know she is working hard and on a very limited budget.
I also know that
her apartment is cute, but there are no extra $$ for decorating.

The other challenge is space and the idea that it all has to be moved back here in less than 3 years now. ( yup! I'm counting the months) So, I thought that I would send her a little care package. All mostly consumable stuff. An inexpensive fall wreath. A yummy smelling Pumpkin Pie Spice candle, fall tea towels, Thanksgiving napkins and finally homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Here's the recipe for the cookies:

• 1tsp baking soda
• 3 cups flour
• 1tsp salt
• 1tsp cinnamon

Combine and set aside.

• 2 sticks butter, (room temp)
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1tsp vanilla

In a large mixing bowl cream butter. Add sugars, beat until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs. Beat until creamy smooth.

• 6oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 6oz white chocolate chips

Begin to add flour mixture, a little at a time to the sugar mixture. Continue to beat and add until completely combined. Fold in chips.

I used an ice cream scoop and placed on an ungreased cookie pan. Bake for about 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.

I hope you enjoy these, Sweetie! And I hope that the rest of the package reminds you just a little of home. We love & miss you!!!!
