Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, mix well Add milk chocolate chips, mix well. drop by rounded tablespoons, 2 inches apart onto increased cookie sheet. bake 7-9 minutes at 375 degrees Remove cookies from oven and place on a cooling rack. The Best part about these cookies is they are made with MILK chocolate chips. We aren't semisweet chocolate fans over here, we are all about the milk.

I have been wanting a hamburger sooo bad and not the kind you get at a fast food place(yes, I do love those too!) But a homemade real Cheeseburger! So I looked and looked for a recipe and found the perfect one and made a few adjustments and it was perfect! I have never made homemade burgers before so this was scary! We had some friends over and it was great to have their opinion too! Everyone loved them and even went back for seconds! Now I feel like a burger queen and may never buy a frozen costco patty again! I love summer and I love cookouts, this was the perfect meal for a summer night! Perfect Summer Burger Ingredients: 2 lbs ground sirloin beef 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tsp chilli powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1/4 tsp onion powder 1 Tbsp ketchup 1/4 tsp liquid hickory smoke 1 egg Instructions: 1. Mix brown sugar, chili powder, salt, pepper and onion powder in a bowl. 2. Add in Ketchup, liquid smoke, and egg and stir thoroughly. 3. Add your ground beef to bowl and mix well with your hands. 3. Form meet mixture into 8 balls, shape into patties or use a burger press and pace on wax paper. 4. Stack burgers with wax paper separating patties, place burgers in fridge to marinate for a few hours or overnight. 5. Grill burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side at 300-400 degrees. 6. Put assorted toppings on top of burger and enjoy! **I have a great burger sauce you can try here...similar to the In-n-Out sauce. I feel like the secret ingredient here is the liquid smoke! I loved it! If you have a summer BBQ coming up, try these out and let us know what you think!

Oh my! This syrup is out of this world. It will forever remind me of beautiful Bear Lake. We had the most delicious meals up there and one of the all time favs was this yummy coconut syrup! We had it with delicious sourdough pancakes that were to die for! This recipe couldn't be any easier. It takes about 5 minutes to make and it soooo easy. The only part about this recipe is you may not have buttermilk on hand. I ended up buying a few little containers to keep on hand because I knew I would be making this again....very soon! It has such a fun flavor to it that is sooo good. Usually with syrup its always maple, this just has a different twist to it that makes it delicious. We first made this when we made German pancakes and that was a fun combo. This last weekend we had this with just regular ol pancakes. It was delicious with both! Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup buttermilk 1 cup sugar 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp coconut extract Instructions: 1. Put butter, buttermilk and sugar in a medium pan. Stir over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil for one minute. 2. Remove from heat and whisk in the baking soda and coconut extract. Mix well.
