Name: Chocolate Chip Cookie Hints

The great danger facing all of us...is not that we shall make an absolute failure of life, nor that we shall fall into outright viciousness, nor that we shall be terribly unhappy, nor that we shall feel [that] life has no meaning at all – not these things. The danger is that we may fail to perceive life's greatest meaning, fall short of its highest good, miss its deepest and most abiding happiness, be unable to tender the most needed service, be unconscious of life ablaze with the light of the Presence of God – and be content to have it so – that is the danger. That someday we may wake up and find that always we have been busy with husks and trappings of life and have really missed life itself. For life without God, to one who has known the richness and joy of life with Him, is unthinkable, impossible. That is what one prays one's friends may be spared – satisfaction with a life that falls short of the best, that has in it no tingle or thrill that comes from a friendship with the Father.

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Always use real butter, not margarine.
2.  Triple amount of vanilla extract recommended.  (Faylen might disagree;
I think it really depends on your individual taste, so take this one with a
grain of salt, as it were.  But that's what it said, so I'm including it.)
Also, always use REAL vanilla extract, not "vanillin".
3.  Add a little milk, maybe a tablespoon or two.  This makes the cookies
softer.  If you do this, make sure the dough is cool and the cookie sheet
is room temperature or cooler before spooning the dough on...otherwise the
dough can burn around the edges.
4.  [verbatim quote] "If you like, try leaving out part of the sugar. I
find sometimes that these cookies are easier to take if even 1/8 cup (two
tablespoons) of the sugar (white or brown) is omitted.  Don't leave out
more than that though."
5.  Try adding a 10-ounce bag of Reese's peanut butter chips, along with
the chocolate chips.  Best to leave out the nuts if you do this.
6.  Supposedly possible to leave out the brown sugar and substitute the
same amount of honey; this should result in  chewy cookies with a longer
shelf-life.
Notes from the Chef: "On the web I found a list of tips for really good
chocolate chip cookies, so I thought I'd share some of them with you all" -

A Message from our Provider:

“Luck has nothing to do with it”

When we enjoy God, we enjoy Him in His eternity without any flux... After many ages, the joys will be as savory and satisfying as if they had been but that moment first tasted by our hungry appetites. When the glory of the Lord shall rise upon you, it shall be so far from ever setting, that after millions of years are expired, as numerous as the sands on the seashore, the sun, in the light of whose countenance you shall live, shall be as bright as at the first appearance; He will be so far from ceasing to flow, that He will flow as strong, as full, as at the first communication of Himself in glory to the creature. God is always vigorous and flourishing; a pure act of life, sparkling new and fresh rays of life and light to the creature, flourishing with a perpetual spring, and contenting the most capacious desire; forming your interest, pleasure, and satisfaction; with an infinite variety, without any change or succession; He will have variety to increase delights, and eternity to perpetuate them; this will be the fruit of the enjoyment of an infinite and eternal God.
