Star of the Week

Haili is Star of the Week at school so, we made a big poster with a bunch of her pictures on it and added little bits of what she loves to do. We also add a scrapbook page to a book with all her other classmates in it. I am also going to make a batch of the Cookie dough chocolate chip cookies, if you like cookie dough you will LOVE these cookies. I got the recipe off of the picky palate website, but i will post it so you can make it!


Haili's favorite color is pink and blue. Her favorite food is cereal and chicken nuggets and she loves Hannah Montana.

Her favorite Toy would be her Red Kitchen and her Barbie Scooter.

She loves playing with her brother and her cousin Madison.


Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cookies

2 sticks softened butter
¾ Cup brown sugar
¾ Cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ¾ Cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 Cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 6 oz boxes Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites (I have found them at walmart they are in the candy isle, and usually sold with the movie candy in a box.)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars until well combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well mixed. In a separate bowl sift the flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients along with the chocolate chips and cookie dough bites until just combined.
2. With a cookie scoop, scoop onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cooked to your liking. I usually take mine out right at 9 minutes for a softer cookie. Let cool on baking sheet for 3-5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
