Friday the 13th & Baking Cookies!

Hey everyone! Well, it's Friday the 13th. Not like it's really anything special, I just think it's fun when it happens.

Anyways, Paul and I are getting together with some friends this evening so I decided to bust out my recent favorite version of the classic chocolate chip cookie. In stead of just settling for chocolate in the chips, this recipe gives you double the chocolate. What's not to love?! The recipe is actually based on a cookie you can get at the Main Street Bakery in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. I know, I'm a dork. Ha! Yeah, you laugh, but they're soooo good! Just give 'em a whirl and you'll see what I mean.
