Chocolate Love: Brownie Cookies!

Welcome to our first adventure! Of course we let our taste buds guide this decision. The idea of mixing the brownie and cookie flavors was just too much to pass up. Our recipe came from here, but we used butter instead of shortening, and omitted the water. Here's our step by step process:
Ingredients list. The vanilla is hiding!

Mixing butter and sugars.

Spoon stirring dry  ingredients

Calista had to make sure the chocolate chips still tasted good.

Dry on the outside, mushy on the inside...kinda like some people...

Nice and smooth mixture

Adding some chocolate chips...Calista decided they were still good.

Everything is mixed up just right!

So of course we had to try it

Dropping by spoonfuls.

Cookies after and before.

Super cute kid enjoying his cookie.

Why is the cookie gone??
This was definitely a success! We enjoyed our delicacies while discussing more ideas for our next post. Stay tuned for our next post! We may not actually post anything until the end of February, as this next week has some vacation time for this blogger!

Two Wives

This is a story of two wives who wanted to try new ideas and keep a record:

Angie is a wife, a mom, and a photographer. She used to work with animals, but now spends most of her time chasing her kid around and preparing for a second arrival sometime in September. She loves finding new ideas on Pinterest, and trying out these new ideas with friends.

Calista is a new stay at home wife. She used to be a case manager doing social work, but recently decided she'd be a better support to her husband if she was home full time. Also, staying at home is better for her personal, mental, and spiritual health. Calista also likes Pinterest, and blogs about her life irregularly.

These two plan to incorporate friends and family into this adventure, and share the experiences with those who chose to read this blog.
