Odyessy

After much debate we decided it was time to invest in a second vehicle. It is nothing fancy and of course we had next to nothing to spend but we ended up with a Honda Odyessy, and I love it! If I was buying from a dealer gold would basically be my last choice but this van is in such good shape and so perfect for our family that we have decided to forgive Goldie locks (our van) for this minor imperfection. Can't wait to test this baby out on the highway, it should make our trips back to Canada a lot more comfortable, call me if you wanna go for a spin ;) ha ha ha!
Oh and I tried this awesome new recipe for s'more cookies today, delicious!
Here is the recipie for these cookies. SERIOUSLY SO GOOD!
Giant S’mores Cookies
makes 18 large cookies in the muffin top pan

Ingredients
2 sticks softened butter
1 Cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 Cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla
4 Cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 Cups chocolate chips
3 regular size Hershey’s Chocolate Bars
3 Full Graham Crackers
5-6 Large Marshmallows cut into fourths

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place butter and sugars into a stand or electric mixer; beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla until well combined.
2. Place flour, salt and baking soda into a large bowl; mix then slowly add to wet ingredients along with the chocolate chips. Mix until just combined.
3. Scoop a heaping 1/4 Cup of cookie dough into muffin top pan cups. Press down then gently press chocolate bar squares, graham cracker pieces and marshmallow slices on top of cookie dough.
4. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until edges are just turning brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. Serve with milk and enjoy

Note: This recipe can be prepared without the muffin top pan. Just flatten out your cookie dough slightly onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet and press your s’mores toppings over the dough.

I did mine on the silpat and they worked out perfect, Enjoy everyone!

Love the van. And those cookies look too good to be true. I'll have to give them a try when I have a few thousand calories to blow.
