Chocolate Chip Cookies
By: Ashley P. of A Girls Guide to Home Life 

Oven - 375 degrees

1 C. Butter soften

1 1/4 C. Brown Sugar

1/2 C. Sugar

2 eggs

2 TBSP Milk

2 tsp Vanilla

2 C. Flour

1 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Salt

2 C. Chocolate Chips

2 1/2 C. Oats (If, you want oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I didn't add the oats when I made them for the seniors luncheon.)

1 tsp Cinnamon (Optional. I sometimes add this in the cookies when Fall weather comes.)

You can also add a few drops of peppermint and red sugar sprinkles around Christmas and Valentines for a holiday cookie. =)

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Beat together butter and sugars in a mixing bowl, until creamy. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla; beat well. Mix in flour, soda, and salt. Add in chocolate chips, and any of the optional ingredients now. Mix well. Drop by teaspoons, or what ever you use to scoop out cookie dough, onto a greased cookie sheet or, parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Cool for a few minutes on cookie sheet before removing cookies onto a cooling rack.

North & South Paper dolls

I found some North & South {2004} paper dolls online. Paper dolls are perfect for girls of all ages to play with. You can print these out on card stock so that your girls, sisters, granddaughters, or yourself may play with them.  =)

Quote of the Day - Audrey Hepburn

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.

Quote of the Day - Audrey Hepburn

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years. 

— Audrey Hepburn
