Junk 2 Jewels Boutique

Moms Morning out

Friday my gal pals and I needed a break from the regular school day routine.  I have been trying to explain to them for weeks how refreshing and relaxing a day trip to the barn sale is. It just does something to my overall attitude. ( This is when you know you are a true JUNKIE). Its like I need a vintage FIX. LOL Junk 2 Jewels made our debut selling fall Home charms, Sherry debuted some incredible cute T-shirts ( email her and get one) I'm sure they will go fast. Here are some shots I took.....Enjoy the show.

Cookies Anyone?

Wouldn't You love to be the recipient of these babies?  I made a batch for a friend of mines husband. He was nice enough to help me out with a computer problem that had me stumped. I thought  that thanking him with these would be a nice gesture, and maybe he might even look forward to my next crisis! LOL This is with out a doubt THE best recipe E- V- E- R ! Try it out and see if you agree? I'm certain you will

1 pound of butter ( thats 4 sticks)

1 1/2 C sugar

2 C Brown Sugar

3 Eggs ( the reason you cant cut this recipe in half )

3 T Vanilla

1T Salt

1T soda

6 C Flour

Fold in 2 bags of Chunk Chocolate ( I use the Dark )

Cream the butter and sugar first. Add everything else. The dough needs to stay in the fridge overnight (wrap in wax paper).   This makes A TON of cookies!!! I separate the dough into 3 or 4 balls. And bake a fresh batch every morning for the kids lunches. They love that!!!  Bake at 350 for 14 min. I bake mine 7 min. on the top rack and 7 min. on the bottom...Perfection!!
