SUPER FUN SHOOT with Kelsey Peterson! It was perfect timing too because as soon as we were done shooting, not even an hour later the sky filled up with rain clouds. We also got kicked out of Crystal Cove State Park due to the lack of a “Photography Permit.” HAHA! Either way we snuck a few more and got these amazing shots! Enjoy :)

Every time I’ve made them people cannot get their hands off them and there are never any left over…
So HIDE YOUR COOKIES, HIDE THEM WELL, cuz everybody is gonna want em!

Here are my C4′s recipe’s ingredients:
1 CUP (2 sticks) of unsalted butter @room temperature
1 ½ CUPS of light brown sugar
2 Large eggs
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
¼ Teaspoon of Baking Soda
¼ Teaspoon of Salt
2 ¼ CUPS of All-purpose Flour
1 CUP of Unsweetened Dried Cranberries
1 CUP of Chocolate Chips
(Optional) 1 CUP of chopped nuts

Baking & Mixing Instructions

1. Preheat your over to 350°
2. Mix all the ingredients minus the CUP of Cranberries and Chocolate Chips
STEP 1

3. After mixing well all of the ingredients, add on the CUP of Cranberries and Chocolate Chips

Step 2

4. Use a non-stick pan (I like to use the silicone flat wrap) and place your dough 2”wide, 3″ apart.

Step 3

5. Place in the oven for 20 minutes. This recipe will give you approximately 3dozens worth!

Step 4

Voila! Bon apetit!
