Focaccia

Focaccia is soooo fun to make esp with kids. I love getting my kids involved in cooking. The younger you get them cooking, the more love they have for it and want to do it. I started my son off at 4 years old.. today he LOVES to cook. I did not do the same with my daughter and she is really not into cooking. So, I decided any children we have going forward, their little butts will be cooking. Anytime my nieces or nephews are over, we cook together (bread, pizza, biscuits, whatever).  You Will Need: 4 Cups Bread Flour (King Arthur) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar (honey or agava)  1.5 tsp Yeast 1 tbsp Oil (olive or avocado) 1 3/4 Cups Warm Water  Bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes

Chocolate Chip Cookies

You Will Need:
1 Cup Butter, unsalted (softened)
3/4 Cup Sugar
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Large Egg, room temp
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 1/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour 
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
2 Cups Chocolate Chips
Directions:
1. Stir your dry ingredients together, except the sugar and chocolate chips. 
2. Cream the sugar, and butter together on medium low speed. Add vanilla, and 1 egg at a time until combined. 
3. Add dry ingredients and preheat oven to 375 degrees; make sure dry ingredients are mixed well, but not over mixed. 
4. Fold in chocolate chips. {can add chopped walnuts too, AMAZING!}
5. Place on unbleached parchment paper and either;
a} Pop in freezer, until frozen, label and continue on to b... or
b} Bake for 9- 12 minutes. Allow to slightly cool for 5 minutes on your baking sheet once you pull them out of the oven. After 5 minutes, place on a wire rack to continue to cool for 30 more minutes.
