Martha Stewart's Favorite Cookie (Alexis' Brown Sugar Cho Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
2 cup unsalted butter (4 sticks)
1 cup granulated sugar
3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
4 each eggs, add one at a time
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup best quality chocolate chips
Recipe Preparation
Alexis Stewart developed this chocolate-chip cookie recipe for her
mother, Martha, when she was twelve years old. Best enjoyed with a
cold glass of milk, these flat buttery cookies combine perfect
amounts of crunch and chewiness. Use an ice-cream scoop to make
evenly sized cookies. If cookies harden before you have a chance to
remove them from the baking sheet, return the sheet to the oven for a
few seconds to soften the dough for easier removal.
1. Heat oven to 375 B0. Cream butter until smooth; add sugars. Beat
in eggs and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients, and slowly beat
into wet mixture. Fold in chocolate-chips. Chill dough until firm,
at least
15 minutes.
2. Drop 2 to 3 tablespoons chilled batter per cookie onto a
well-greased baking sheets lined with baking mats or parchment; space
batter about 2 inches apart for spreading. Bake 8 to 10 minutes,
until golden. Remove from baking sheets, and allow to cool on baking
racks.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsIn planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Make reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs for deep fried or oven baked foods. Although you can buy reduced carb breadcrumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using reduced carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the low carb bread in a gas or electric oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is hard, whizz it in your food mill. To store, keep in a tupperware jar or container.
* Know what is in your food Don't trust food packaging that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the back of the package. A good number of are only slightly less and in some instances still greater than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.
