How ARE YOU GOING TO FIND A RECIPE LET ALONE THE TIME TO MAKE 20 DOZEN COOKIES?! REST EASY, I HAVE A GREAT VARIATION OF THE TRADITIONAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE THAT HAS A HINT OF ALMOND AND A MOUTHFUL OF CHUNKY, DELICIOUS BITES. I USE THIS RECIPE FAITHFULLY IN MY CHRISTMAS BAKING BUSINESS, AS A MATTER OF FACT I HAVE ALREADY MADE MY FIRST 200 COOKIES, THE FIRST COOKIES FOR 2005, TO BE MADE AND FROZEN. IT IS A GREAT FREEZER RECIPE, A SINGLE BATCH MAKES ABOUT 100 SMALLER SIZED COOKIES AND THEY ARE YUMMY! ENJOY! CHIPS GALORE COOKIES 1 cup butter softened 3/4 cup each white and brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tbsp almond extract 2-1/4 cup flour 1 tsp salt I-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 1-1/2 cups milk chocolate chips 1-1/2 cups white chocolate chips 1-1/2 cups pecans 1-1/2 cups walnuts Cream the butter with both sugars. Add eggs and almond extract and blend well. Gradually add flour and salt and beat till well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and the nuts. The recipe will be very chunky and it does take a little arm muscle to mix well. Spoon onto well greased cookie sheets and bake about 15 minutes in an oven set at 325. The cookies should be browning nicely around the edges. Let sit for a minute on the tray and then lift and set on a cooling rack. Cool. Store in an airtight container with wax paper between layers, and in the freezer till you want a few for a tray. Shelf life when not frozen is just 2 or 3 days at room temperature, although they are much better pulled out of freezer as needed.What a wonderful mouthful!

(142.2 M2) PLAN H2-3-720 Victorian Grace A turreted upstairs room and a roundel window lend this two storey, three-bedroom family home a touch of Victorian grace. Entry is through a covered porch and into a compact foyer. A coat closet in on the right, just past the door to the den, which has a closet and could serve as a home office or as a spare bedroom. The rest of the ground floor is unfinished, although a three-piece bathroom has been roughed in. Up a flight of stairs is the main floor — really the second floor. To the left is a combined great room -dining area. The great room features a bayed -out area under the turret and a fireplace, while the dining area has an optional built-in buffet The family cook will appreciate the kitchen's L-shaped counter configuration, capacious pantry and work island with seating for snacks and casual meals. The kitchen also enjoys access to a covered deck, the perfect spot for the barbecue, and a sundeck beyond. Under the sundeck is a covered patio accessible from the ground floor. On the other side of the main floor are the bedrooms. The master suite is reached from the stairway through an angled corridor flanked by two walk-in closets. The ensuite features a soaker tub and a corner shower cabinet. Two more bedrooms have easy access to a skylit bathroom, which encloses the linen closet. A laundry room is nearby. Jutting out over the two -car garage is an unfinished rec room with a vaulted ceiling. This would make an ideal spot for the youngest members of the family to entertain friends, play music and surf the Web. The exterior is finished in wood siding, with shingles accenting the garage gable. Along with painted trim, there are stone accents and two columns with decorative capitals and stone bases.This home is 41 feet wide and 56 feet, seven inches deep, for a total of 1531 square feet.
