You MUST try these cookies. They are so good. I ended up freezing half of my dough. This recipe yields 6 dozen cookies! I baked mine for only 9 minutes and they turned out perfect. Even though they look like they're not done, they are. If you over cook them they will turn out too dry and cake like. Let me know what you think if you end up making them.
Ingredients
* 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons baking soda
* 2 cups butter, softened- 4 sticks
* 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
* 4 eggs
* 1 tbsp vanilla extract
* 1 bag chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.

Choice enrollment
So now I know what they mean when people talk about getting into schools shouldn't be a lottery drawing. Well, unfortunately, for us it is. We've applied for 3 schools and all of them are choice enrollment, meaning we are put into a lottery with all the other children hoping to get in. And we'll see who makes it in. Our assigned school is horrible. They scored a 4 out of 10 on greatschools.org. Not ok with me at all. I narrowed it down to 3 schools within 5 miles of our house after about 15 hours of research this last week. "Who ever though it would be so difficult," another lady trying to enroll her child said to me today. I totally agree. I am optimistic she will get into one of them! Hopefully!! At least the first part is over. We are only looking for a half day and no preference if it's AM or PM, somebody's got to accept us :).
School enrollment time already...
I can't believe it's time to sign up my baby for kindergarden all ready! Who knew it would be so hard though! Luckily we have open enrollment in our county. The school we're interested in has 40 on the open enrollment list in front of us though! But there's probably 50+ elementary schools within 5 miles of us!! Wow...
3...2...1....
HAPPY DUE DATE! That's right tomorrow is my due date! 1/1/11! I need all the labor vibes I can get! And we officially have a new name for the baby, It's not Elyse anymore. We are not telling until she's born, so she better get here soon! 1/1/11 would be a neat birthday though.
39.5 week doctor's appointment
No changes! It's not looking too promising right now... No inductions unless I have to! I go back in one week when I'll be 40.5 weeks! My first was born at 40 weeks and 5 days.
Wishing....
Wishing I had some chocolate right now and a husband who loves to cook gourmet meals and clean lol. 38 weeks and 3 days... only 11 days left.
Labor cookie review and a BIG pain in my butt!
labor cookies= no success!!
Still pregnant. 38 weeks today. I fell down my last stair straight on my tailbone. Pain shot up my back and I had to lay there with my 2 year old ask, "What doing mommy?". So my butt is really killing me, it hurts to walk, sit, and lay down now with baby's head engaged.
