Mustache Men Cake Pops

I made these cake pops for the chili cook off at Daves work. The cook off was to celebrate the end of Mustache March. Everyone loved them. I made them with red velvet cake. It was funny to see everyones reaction as they bit into a squishy red inside. I personally didnt like the cake's taste. Chocolate would have been better.

Don't Forget this One!

Shelley made this cake for my Birthday! Isn't it sooo cool! It looked and tasted just like the real thing! She knows me well (and my obsession with hostess cupcakes). I loved it! Thank you Shelley!

The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the best recipie for Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER! I have tried so many recipies and I finally got it right by altering some recipies. You've gotta try it.



The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER:

1/2 C. shortening
1/2 C. (1 stick) butter or margarine - softened. (This is VERY important!: Do not soften butter or margarine too much, your cookies will totally flatten if butter is too soft)
1/2 C. granulated sugar
1C. packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla extract
2 C. flour - sifted
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together shortning, butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Don't overmix. Add eggs and vanilla and mix just until incorporated. Mix in sifted flour, baking soda and salt a little at a time just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 degrees until the center is no longer glossy. About 8-10 min. Don't over bake! When it hits 8 min, sit at the oven and watch because they go fast after that. Take them out if you even THINK the edges are getting brown. Enjoy!
