Baking cookies and making fudge was on the agenda this week. The grandkids love chocolate chip cookies so I wanted to have them on hand on Thanksgiving Day. I always use the Toll House Cookie recipe on the back of the package. I thought some might not have that recipe and especially if a different brand of chocolate chips are used. Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter/margarine - softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12 oz package) chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (I use 1/2 cup)
Beat butter, both sugars and vanilla until creamy. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and gradually add flour mixture to the creamed ingredients. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes and remove to wire racks. Note I cool mine on newspaper or brown sack to absorb any excess grease.
This is just a quick picture of my dining room table with a nice fall silk arrangement sitting on a dark green table cloth. I use a plastic tablecloth under my cloth tablecloths to prevent damage to my table during the family meals. The table is about 20 years old but looks like the day we bought it. I think the plastic tablecloth has helped prevent any damage through the years. On Thanksgiving Day the table will be set with stainless silverware and dinnerware. I enjoy having our dinner using real dinnerware rather than plastic forks and knives and a paper plate.....it's just not right to use throw away dinnerware for a holiday meal. Old fashioned I guess.

Happy Thanksgiving
