Everybody's Favourite--Crispy AND Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cookie people either like crispy or chewy cookies, so these are both. Soft in the middle and slightly crunch at the edges and extra-big.

Crispy and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (Martha Stewart)
Makes 20 cookies

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (1 1/4 cups)
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Beat butter and sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Add vanilla. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture, beat until combined. Mix in chocolate chips.

Using a 2 1/4" ice cream scoop (about 3 tbsp), drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2" apart. Bake until golden around edges but soft in the middle, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Crock-Pot Chile Casserole
corn tortillas (I buy a large pkg,36 )
1.5 lbs cooked & drained hamburger meat
8-10 chiles peeled, stemmed & diced
1 large onion diced
1 can chicken with rice soup
3 lbs shredded cheddar or colby jack cheese
Note: I add seasoning salt to each layer...it's not called for if you wish to skip that. I also used an 8oz can diced green chilies. You can also used ground turkey, pork...whatever instead of beef.

Mix hamburger, chile & onion together. Tear corn tortillas in large pieces & place in bottom of crock pot. Add hamburger mixture to lightly cover tortillas. Add cheese. Alternate layers until crock pot is half full. Then add 1/2 can of soup. Continue to layer until crock pot is full. Top with remaining soup. Fill soup can with water & pour on top. Bake on low 3-4 hours.

The tapenade is a cinch to make and the salad mixture is portable, so feel free to pack it up; just be sure to put the salad mixture in a container and add it to the pitas just before eating so they don't get soggy. For the tapenade 1 medium clove garlic 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil 1-1/2 tsp. red wine vinegar For the sandwich 1-1/2 cups seeded and finely diced English cucumber (about 1/2 medium) 1-1/4 cups seeded and finely diced Roma tomatoes (about 3 medium) 3/4 cup crumbled feta 1/2 cup finely diced radishes (about 4 medium) 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil 1 Tbs. red wine vinegar 1 tsp. dried oregano Freshly ground black pepper 4 medium (6- to 7-inch) whole-wheat pitas, warmed 4 cups lightly packed baby spinach leaves Make the tapenade Put the garlic in a food processor and process until chopped.

Moravian Sugar Cake Ingredients For the dough 1 russet (baking) potato (about 1/2 pound) 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water 1 envelope (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled 1 large egg 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 1/2 to 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits 3/4 cup firm packed light brown sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon Preparation Make the dough: In a small saucepan combine the potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, with enough water to cover it by 1 inch and simmer it, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is very tender. Drain the potato well, force it through a ricer into a bowl, and stir in 2 tablespoons of the water. In a small bowl proof the yeast in the remaining 1/2 cup water for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy. In a large bowl stir together well the yeast mixture, the mashed potato, the sugar, the butter, the egg, and the salt, add 2 1/2 cups of the flour, and stir the dough until it is combined well. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes, adding as much of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as is necessary to form a smooth and elastic dough. Transfer the dough to a buttered large bowl, turning it to coat it with the butter, let it rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until it is double in bulk, and punch it down. The dough may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Bring the dough to room temperature before continuing with the recipe. Preheat the oven to 400Â°F. Press the dough evenly in a buttered 13- by 9-inch baking pan and let it rise, covered with a kitchen towel, in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it is puffed. Make indentations all over the top of the dough with your thumb and scatter the butter over the dough. In a small bowl stir together the brown sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough. Bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is dark brown and cooked through. Let the cake cool for 5 minutes and cut it into squares. Sue
