GiG Spotlight #4: Come Bake With Me

My love of cooking is directly linked to my tasteful experiences. Much of the learning came from just watching, exploring and experimenting. It’s the creative process, a series of experiences that lead me to the great “aha!” moments of life. I love that you can start with some ingredients , and the finished product is something beautiful. OK, our recipe for today is…

Chocolate  Chip Cookies

1 lb. butter

1 1/2 cups white sugar

2 cups brown sugar

3 eggs

1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

1 Tbsp. almond extract

 2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. kosher salt

6 cups flour

1 10-oz bag Ghiradelli 60% Cacao

Bittersweet Chocolate Chips

2 cups walnuts or pecans, optional

Procedure

*Cream butter and sugars together until smooth. Beat in eggs. Add extracts, soda and salt until combined.

”As a woman, you spend so much time either cooking or getting ready to go somewhere. I like to have music when I’m doing either of these things.”
