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!

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
