Best Homemade Cookies

A simple recipe for the softest homemade cookies you'll ever taste

If you're baking/cooking challenged like me and can burn cereal, you know the frustration of not being able to make cookies. Like seriously, cookies are probably the easiest thing to make but you still manage to somehow mess it up. Trust me, I've been there.

This recipe is almost impossible to mess up and the results are amazing. Impress all your friends and earn major brownie (or cookie) points with your roommates when they come home to a plate of these.

Enjoy!


Ingredients:

8 tablespoons of salted butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

Chocolate chips


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and microwave butter until melted.

2. Combine butter and sugars. Add vanilla and the egg and mix until just incorporated.

3. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until crumbles form then use your hands to combine into dough, adding chocolate chips once dough is formed.

4. Roll dough into 12 balls, line on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
