Valentine's Day Party!

Tonight I'm getting ready for a co-hosted Valentine's Day Party for Sophia.  We are going to make Valentine's.  Denise made cupcakes and is bringing juice.  Cara has two tons of decorating materials.  I am cleaning house, moving furniture and generally getting ready.  But... Dave has made me concerned about having enough snacks for not only the kids, but also the adults.  So, I've decided to make cookies.  Yep.  Cookies.  I'm going to make Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies.  (I'm reminded of the episode of Friends when Phoebe pronounces it with a very bad french accent.)  I'm also going to make Annette's White Chocolate Chip CranRaisin Cookies.  So, here is the recipe for these delicious cookies that I absolutely LOVE.  I miss Annette and love her dearly.  I can only be thankful that before we parted ways I was able to get the recipe.

2 1/4 cup AP flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
3/4 cups white sugar
3/4 brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup cranraisins
(optional 3/4 cups nuts)  - we don't use nuts- allergies and stuff

Preheat oven to 350

Combine Flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl

Cream butter and sugars.
Add vanilla
Beat in 1 egg

Gradually mix dry ingredients.
Stir in chocolate chips and cranraisins
drop by well rounded teaspoons onto baking sheets

Bake 9-11 minutes or until centers are set.

Cool.  Eat.  Lots.  Lots.  Lots!  Yummy!
