Sweet n Shabby Christmas

The sweetest blessing...
 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 
John 3:16 
Praise God! We are incredibly blessed!
 Hello Dear Friends!
Santa's cookies are ready! 
We have all been cheffing it up in my shabby kitchen...
Nestle Toll house Original Cookie Recipe!

Ingredients

Directions

PREHEAT oven to 375° F.

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
YUMMY EAT LOTS! NO CALORIES DURING CHRISTMAS!!! HA!
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care...
I am cooking, eating, wrapping, eating some more, and fluffing up the house in preparation for that jolly old elf to make his grand appearance!
(Let me tell you he is going to be one well fed elf!)
 I am thankful this holiday season for all of our blessings! 
God is faithful and good!
