Happy Birthday Daddy!

Matt turned 30 last week - we enjoyed celebrating with a few days in Harrisonburg with my parents and my brother Brett and his family. Before we left, we made him this yummy BIG cookie and gifted him with some homemade cards AND tickets to a Richmond Flying Squirrels baseball game. Yes, I said Flying Squirrels. They are our new minor league baseball game. Happy Birthday Matt/Daddy! We love you very very much!!



Here is the recipe I used for the BIG cookie. (Thank you Blair!)

BIG Cookie Recipe:
6T butter, softened
1/2 C Brown Sugar
1/4 C Sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 C flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1 C chocolate chips

Cream the sugar by mixing both sugars with the butter. Add the egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Add the flour slowly. Stir in chocolate chips. Press all of the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet or pizza tray into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Add whatever icing words you like (Blair said they help hold candles in AND look fun!). ENJOY!
